Let there be water!!

Who would have thought that such a small hole (smal but VERY DEEP) in the ground could be the source of so much pain an anguish?? Well.....WE DO!

BUT even after this little well has caused us so much heartache, we forgive it....because now it gives us water!

Some of you have heard the tale but let me fill in the rest of you. After the inital dig of

a LOT of feet, half our well is lost becuase of a cave in. Why did it cave in? Well there was no liner in it. Why was there no liner?? Becuase we were only getting 1/2 gallon/min. SO after hydrofracturing, setting a pump and pumping for endless hours to get all the bleach out, we still have half the well we dug, BUT look at this beautiful water!!

so clear and COLD

here is the river i made down the side of our driveway...you get a little bored waiting for 4 hours while the water pumps to clean itself of bleach.

Building update: With the completion of our LOVELY well, we were finally able to get a water sample and turn in our building permit application. Theoretically, the say it takes two weeks to get your permit.....soooo in OUR case, we'll probly have it by Nov 1 :) so scott can frame in the snow!
