Yay! I got the circle done today!! :D Well, just about done, anyway...there are two or three itty-bitty spots that are a weird shape that I'll let Dad fill in, lol.
God graciously held off the rain until I was just about done...once it started sprinkling steadily, I hustled to get this covered so the water wouldn't get in the cracks and ruin the insulation. Then, I went to work on the well...and guess what? That's done too! :D I whacked it down another foot or two today, so now it's driven about 14-15 feet deep. I primed the pump, and it took a looooooooooooong time to get water. Just when I was about to give up, the water suddenly started coming out!! :D
It's pretty silty, so we'll see if it runs clear eventually...if it doesn't, it will still come in handy for washing dishes, etc. I don't know if I can use it for animals. I would think that I could - after all, they often drink pond and creek water, and that must have some silt in it, right??
I do need to have the water tested, though. Anyone local know where I can take a sample?
This was a bonus day off from work, so I didn't want to squander it, so after THAT, I got out the chainsaw and did some clearing over where I might put a fenced area for the dogs. I didn't realize it at first, but I eventually noticed that I was clearing a corridor over to my little field, and that it looked really neat - almost like a pathway to a different world.
I probably won't be able to keep this effect, as most of the trees to the right and left will be coming down too, but I thought that was kind of neat. :)
