bad times driving a well

[foggy1111]

I hit water at about 13 feet and drove it in another 5 feet. Hooked up my pitcher pump, and after dumping some water into the top of the pump to get the seals working, got water. After a few minutes it was running clear!

I've built buildings and done all sorts of cool things but this ranks as one of my favorite projects. It will be worth the severe cramps I'm probably going to get in my arms later this evening!

Now I have to trench in 300' of wire for power...

Congrats!!! I agree....getting a well operational is a great feeling. Enjoy!! :thumbsup:

Or else you could use one of these... We just put this up tonight under the light of the pending full moon (well a few hours before darkness).

Now where's that pesky railroad tie....

I will do that some day in the future when my funding permits! I would like to have a couple of them to generate some electricity as well...

There are a few abandoned windmills around here, where farm houses used to be. I wondered how difficult it would be to tear one down and move it here, but in the end a new one would probably be more economical.
