Remember - I said this blog was my way of documenting - so ...
Digging The Well
Hit water at 3 - 4 feet down.
So... gotta pump the water out so they can dig deeper.
Michael helps with transporting the dirt to fill in areas where dirt is needed - ruts in the road.
- LAST YEAR -
Michael helped by taking turns with Martin digging, using the pick ax, scooping out the mud, moral support...
Bill - helping with transporting sloppy, wet clay to ruts in the road.

Oh, the joys of big tools!

Hmm, it hardly comes close to the same size "bucket" of the backhoe! =)
As deep as possible - keep going!
That's it - 13 feet! and tight quarters until the sides are evened out.
THIS YEAR: Digging & transporting of dirt away = 2 days, 3 men, 1 backhoe
LAST YEAR: Digging & transporting of dirt = several weeks, 3 men/1 woman - Thanks Stacy!
Oh! Look! The water rose higher than we expected over night.
Yes, the plug IS underwater!
Warning: Do NOT attempt this at home without a trained professional on hand. Do NOT plan to jump in & go swimming. Do NOT post these pictures to any OSHA site or authorities. =)
After pumping it down a few times to clear out any silt - this is what it looks like.
Clear, clean water coming up!
Covered with logs/wood for now.
Electrical to run the pump is in.
Final covering will be in place soon.
