WELL DONE
Summer cruise delayed by water well failure. When we noticed the problem we were ready to leave for the boat. We decided we had better solve the problem before we leave so that our plantings with drip irrigation would not suffer. Walt pulled the receipt from the purchase of the last well pump and it was dated 28 years ago. Not bad at all. So he built a new dereck and son Dan and grandson Collin helped to raise it and pull out all 14 lengths of 20 ft galvanized pipe to get to the pump. On pipe #13 he found a quarter inch hole in the pipe that would lose the water. A new pump, all new schedule 80 pvc pipe, new wire installed and we have water again. Hopefully we won't have to do it again. Getting too old! Thanks to Dan, Collin and Mike Braet for the help
