I've come across several of these in my life and am amazed at the skill and bravery of those that dug them. Imagine being down there with all that dirt above, possible stale air. When you hit water, I'm sure you had do dig a few feet further down. Was there enough support down there for the first ring of brick to be laid.
Anyone out there who has experience with these please reply. What is this cleaning out that keeps being mentioned, was that also done from the bottom up?
