The Big Dig

Thought I would share with you our latest project - digging a well. The crew arrived on Friday am and promptly got stuck in the mud. They remained there until about 4pm until I drove down the road and begged a guy at a construction site to come and help us. He tried a bulldozer first...




Then he brought in the serious equipment...


Which came in handy for other projects as well...

They used it to drag the well rig into position...

Saturday they got around to drilling...and hit water around 300ft - over 100 gallons per minute! Check out their motto on the side of the truck! Boy are we glad this project is over!

Sorry - this picture is out of position - it was supposed to be first!

Looks like some good fun Sarah! Did your boys love watching the process or are they too old for trucks and diggers? I'm glad you guys got it done-you won't have to worry about a drought now-right?

Are boys of any age too big for diggers? Jason even sat, mesmerized, for the entire process.
