Troubles: water well--fixable and satan---he's already lost!

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Country Families : One Thread

Well, this old hillbilly is fix'n to do some well work Thursday. Dismantle the pump house tomorrow, draw all the water I can, get the tools ready and prepare for the job Thursday a.m. It appears that I'm pumpin the well down below the foot valve. Have to shut the breaker off inside the house to keep the pump from runnin continully.

Should be a real fun day as it's now impossible for me to pull the stuff by myself since I got old, fat and lazy! I'm already plannin on drillin a new one shortly with a much larger casing. I already have a 4" steel pipe now but will try for a 6" or larger PVC if I can.

Raked the yard today of all the roots and limbs that were moved in when dirt was brought into the yard last month. Worked for about an hour in 100 degree head runnin that rake. By that time I was almost ready to lay down under the shade tree and rest but it was just too hot for that. I came into the house, shukkin clothes as I made my way to the bathroom and a cold wet towel! Still got quite a bit of stump pickin up to do just so's I can mow! Too hot and dry now to mow--grass dies when I do.

Still healed and still shoutin! Everytime satan tries to cause me trouble it backfires on the stoopid old sleeze. I know immediately when the worm is attackin me and it reminds me to Praise Jesus! Sometimes I get to praise God most of the day while ole satan has his tail tucked under his'n legs and runnin away to hide from the Great I Am that I Am!

Ya'll have a good week-what's left of it. Stay cool and healthy. old hoot. Matt.24:44

"Huston the waterwell is producin!" Lets see, I don't think that's what was said but the well is workin again. After a very tryin last 3 days it's finally fixed. Thank God! I was about ready to go down to the crik and take a bath cept'n the crik is dry. Ended up replacin everything in the well from the pump on top to the jet at the bottom---100' deep.

I think I'll start lookin for a drillin rig to drill another one and case it with PVC.

"You never miss the water till the well runs dry" is a very truthful statement. I've drunk a ton of iced t since last nite and am still wantin more. Oh well, tomorrow is another day that I can load up on good well water mixed with a little instant Tea and Stevia! old hoot. Matt.24:44
