Hand Digging Water Well. Part 2

[@kevind3185]

That is a very dangerous way of digging a well. Back in the day they use to build.wood rings that could be stacked for higher for depth. A digger would stand in the middle of the ring and dig below the edge as the ring drops it creates a retaining wall. Once the desired depth was reached thy lined the well with brick or stone leaving the wood rings behind.

[@mattbrown2784]

So that's how my great grandpa did it! Still there I imagine, in Missouri. Back in the day, this is how they did it. Dangerous? Sure. But man that's cool!

Seen a company unload a excavator to fill in a five gallon bucket worth of dirt hole. Glad to see someone else isnt afraid of a shovel.

This will be a deep well with 4 inch pvc pipe. This is just the beginning process. Digging to solid clay layer and setting a 8 inch pvc pipe and will manual percussion drill. Future videos will detail it a little more. Have a Blessed Day Friend!

[@ghettovanadventures]

Awesome

[@kevinmackfurniture]

My parents have a 12' deep, stone lined well in front of their 1741 home. Still works and is perfect condition. How many things can you say That about ?

[@bisratmekonnen4210]

Is there any type of soil that indicates you are close to finding water underground

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

From what I understand, it would be small rocks or sandy soil where water can travel. It could be a combination of this or other soil type where water can travel or rock. Hope this helps. Have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin

[@elflordsjourneys]

Wow,job well done,I have solid rock and clay in my yard😂

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

Thanks Elf Lords Journeys. Little by little I'll keep chipping away. Have a Blessed Day Friend!

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

Thats a lot of work but you are getting it done. Looking real good. What State are you in again?

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

Thanks Joey! We live in North Mississippi. Have a Blessed Day Friend!

[@lonefoxbushcraft]

Just completed mine I can did anywhere yep yep at 3ft and hit water...mines 10ft deep by 1metre wide.

[@MountainCrestFarm]

That looks like a good way to relax just doing mindless work you don't have to think about while doing it. I don't think I'll be trying it here though...it's 220 ft to good water!...LOL

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

This is just the beginning process. I wish I could find water at this depth. I am looking at 200 plus feet too! The next video will explain. Thanks for watching and have a Blessed Day Friend!

[@ChipsOutdoorChannel]

I'll tell you one thing, you dig a nice round hole! I'm interested now in how far you're gonna go. I don't know how my mind went to this while watching the video, but I felt bad for all those guys back in the old days that had to dig graves for people, especially during war times!

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

My future videos will show in detail how I am going to dig/drill it. This hole will be back filled and on to the next step. Probably 200 plus feet. Have a Blessed Day Friend!

[@RonRay]

I hope it produces 10 gallons a minute!

[@brownsrvlifecampground9322]

How deep did you dig your well ?

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

the bore hole was 10 feet deep and I backfilled it with a 8 inch pipe in center. Then I have used a percussion method to drill on down. About 75-80 feet right now and no water. Have a Blessed Evening Friend! Justin

[@brownsrvlifecampground9322]

@@homegrowncountryhomeplace This is one thing that scares me about my land we purchased we trying to put a shallow well on our properly to have water we dug about 5 ft and seen water we use a drive point and to the ground around 13 ft and no water so now we are digging a whole out deeper with a hand shovel to pull up the drive point it look like it's stuck in rocks bed sand. It's definite a lot of hard work also keep making these awesome videos 🙏❤️

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

@@brownsrvlifecampground9322 thank you. Just be careful while digging. I hope you find water friends. Have a Blessed Day. Justin

[@saltwaterinmyveins]

The well at my grandparents house was dug in ‘59 by a man and his wife, bout 50’ deep. A bucket of mud fell on my uncle while he was digging a well, almost killed him.

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

It can be dangerous digging a well for sure. Have a Blessed Evening Friend! Justin

[@luuquangminhpro]

[@andylin273]

Two people died in one day after digging a well

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

Yes sir it could be very dangerous. Have a Blessed Day.

[@siminasabadus9876]

Due to the contamination of the water table, these types of wells are your one of your cleanest water source
