Well, I've always wondered about taking a hammer drill to the cistern
walls (unused for 50 years) and hack out a door. Only issue then is
excavating an entry down to it.

What a shock! Metalworking machinery in Beloit.. Too damn big to get
down my basement steps...

Well, you always needed an excuse to dig out that basement entry and
put in a proper set of steel Storm Doors with a ladder, and a 2-ton
hoist beam with a trolley and chain-fall...

Now you've got one.
