The weather forecast called for showers in the afternoon so Jim got out early to try and get some work in before the raindrops. However, the rain really held off and Jim got a good day of work in.
Look how good everything looks!
We also started the beginnings of the well work. We have 500' of safety rope that we will eventually tie to the pump so that in case something goes wrong, we can bring the pump back up and won't lose it down in the well. Jim tied a weight onto the end of that and lowered it into the well. We hit water at 110' - which is actually 50' higher than it was when the well was dug. That could be from positive pressure in the well and/or the winter's snowfall. Jim continued lowering the weight and it hit the bottom at 244', which is exactly what the well driller had said. So we have 134' of water to draw from right now which sounds great.
