The first thing we needed to do was find water. We had a guy out to the property with his divining rods and he located 2 underground streams that crossed, so that is where he blasted. We only have a few inches of soil and then it is all limestone. He had to blast the hole twice. The well is 23 ft deep and 3 ft in diameter. On this trip we went to see how much water was in the well. This photo tells the story ...NONE!! We were nervous, but the guy who blasted wasn't. He said it may take a week or two for the water to come in. It eventually did, and now we have about 2o ft of water.
Catherine is standing beside the capped well. Her smile is forced because we have no water in our well.
We had to clear the forest and make our driveway longer so the well company could get their equipment in to blast the hole. Our driveway now is about 300 ft long (alot to shovel in the winter). Our plan is to locate the house in the forest on the right side of the driveway looking at this photo.
