OK, so now it's Tuesday Tuesday, but sometimes it's hard to come up with titles to these updates. Also, Monday just ended and I wanted to give a little update on yesterday's events.
The well expert came out yesterday and found that rocks had been thrown in the well to a depth of 28 feet. He used some colorful, unkind words for people that engage in this kind of vandalism. He suggested that we get some pipe to try to break the rock down into the well. I'll buy and join together some lengths of galvanized pipe, and let the boys take turns lifting and pounding that heavy pipe onto the rocks below. Hopefully, not too many rocks were thrown down, but we will just have to see. Otherwise, I'll have to buy a tank and have water trucked in and/or have a drill company drill though the old and/or completely drill a new well. Oh joy. BTW, apparently the previous owners had built the tank seen in the photo just for storage and pressure as we could not find how a truck could get to the spot to drill.
We also finished loading the POD and had it picked up and delivered yesterday afternoon. It's fascinating to watch the "podzilla" at work! I rode out with the driver (he would never have found my place!) and showed him where to place the storage unit. We'll start unloading it this week into the garage/workshop.
The trash company is supposed to deliver the roll-off dumpster today, but the boys will be in charge of showing them where to put it. The company will probably just put it where it's most convenient for them to pick it back up.
More to come! Steve.
