Well number 2

Fool me once, shame on you... Fool me twice, shame on me.

I know what it's like to be without water, so as a precautionary backup, we are transforming our old well (which still worked... limited water, but still worked) in to a well that we can pump by hand. It's part of the whole self-sufficient mindset... We can still have access to clean water if our electricty goes out (which hasn't happened in a while, but it has been known to do).

My dad came over Saturday and helped Paul piece the pipes and pump rod together (and figure out how to get it to work).

The pumping mechanism still needs to be tweeked and worked on a bit, but we can get water to flow. Yay!
