I love hearing the child singing in the background. The kid is just living and loving life. It’s nice to “see”

[@thecarringtonjungle4933]

Thanks so much! If you have any questions or need any advice, let me know. It takes some planning but is definitely not as hard as it seems!

Watching the wife hold the channel locks backwards while the poor husband doesn’t even know that they are backwards was tough

[@thecarringtonjungle4933]

Haha! Yes!

How do you get the water up if you don’t have a foot value at the bottom? Found the old well pipe I can hear water when to drop a weight with fishing line but can’t get the water to suck up. Thanks

I’m curious to know your thoughts on dropping a well point below your 2” casing and then leaving the casing in place rather than removing it? That way if you ever want to remove the well point for repair you can without abandoning the well all together. Is it doable, or is there an issue with leaving the casing in the ground? It seem the water table shouldn’t fluctuate too much especially here in Florida. Thank!

Juat Awlays Be Aware in most states you need to be a licensed Well Driller ....before you just go poking holes in the ground folkes . The Epa would probaly cripple a person ... That has Penetrated a underground water Aquifer without a license...

How deep can I drill with this method?

[@thecarringtonjungle4933]

I would not attempt to go more than 40 feet in sand. If you use a recirculating pool with chemicals, you could probably go deeper but it would be more involved

What did you do to prevent collapsing around the 2inch pipe?

[@thecarringtonjungle4933]

I didn't do anything, just tried to move quick to keep it loose. If you take a break, it will but at least in my florida ground, it stayed fine for long enough

[@James-sz2hr]

Thanks!

What part of florida are you from?
