Let there be Water

In September our well was drilled. Rose and Bob were spectators/participants in the day's activities. Bob helped dig a ditch for some of the overflow, while Rose was the photographer.

Some impressive equipment is necessary.

Somewhere they hit black shale, which mixes with water to form this lovely sludge. Thankfully there was a lovely trench dug....

All in all: the well is just shy of 300ft deep, with somewhere between 7-10 gallons per minute. A few things should work to our advantage, including that the well was dug during a very dry spell. So we hope that this well will be more than we need as long as we use it!
