Now picture that same scenario, but you're in the shower all hot and steamy and lathered up with soap and something major happens. The water starts to trickle... and trickle.. and eventually trickles no more.
That's what just happened to Tim... And it wasn't a pretty sight around here, let me tell ya. He was freaking out, yelling and questioning everyone "who used all the hot water, better yet who just used all the water? Who did laundry, took showers and ran the dishwasher?".. sadly it wasn't like that. Yes, we used the water in the house like we did every day, but for some reason this time- we ran dry. yes DRY people. We ran our well DRY. You can imagine the feeling of disaster when you think you have no water left in your well.
Well, it took several hours, but our well eventually filled and we were able to get water out of the faucets again, but we realized that something needed to be done- quickly. We had some contractors out who used to service this house prior to our ownership and much to our surprise, we learned that the well had actually run dry previously. Of course this was never mentioned to us before, so we were upset and that's just a whole other can of worms that I'm not even about to get into in this post. Let's just say it was best to just move forward with correcting the matter at hand. After several contractors out to the house, we decided to get a new well drilled for better water flow and accessability. The well we have now is only drilled a little over 100 feet deep. This is not the best set up for a family of 5. We had our buddy Tom Smith out with his excavating equipment to dig our hill out for the drill to access freely. Say hi to Tom:
Now we're all ready for Mills to come drill our new well!
To be continued...
