@Willamadillo

Now that you’ve dug a well, and know the costs and trouble with it, would you prefer to buy land with an existing well, and spend a bit more for the land, or is drilling the well yourself worth the time and money?...and why, of course.

How many chickens deep is your well? I’m pretty sure that’s the official unit of measurement for wells...

How much was the cost of the well not including the pump?

Do you think having the land dowsed first was worthwhile?

Cost per foot? Depth pump sits at? What is lifespan of a well?

I’m just so happy you hit water at a level close to what you were expecting. The best surprise is no surprise. 😎

Did you dig where the rods crossed?

Would you like a cool, honorary Grandma? I could run errands and do chores in exchange for a space to pitch a tent/park a camper and a few gallons of water a day... 💕

Do you plan on going old school and putting a hand pump outside? Can you still use your well now even though your house isn't built yet?

465ft is pretty deep. How about show us by walking the distance if possible.

Also, will you have a cistern for the well water?

Will you install a hand pump in case electricity fails?

@richardburguillos3118

Will you be having the water tested? What’s the water plan? Will you be pumping to a tank and from tank to house? Will you have a large storage tank as part of any fire fighting or emergency plan?

@razman_offgrid-dusun

The well is going to be the primary source of your water needs. Are you considering an above ground secondary water storage for on demand water or are you going to tap directly from the well?

@titanicgirl774

How is the seismic activity and do you factor that in when digging for a well?

What happens if no water is hit? Do they still charge an arm and a leg?
