Getting there....

We finally have a well on our land...

We had gotten a quote a while back and agreed to the price but told the driller we could go no higher.
He said he would call if/when they get close to the depth(305 feet).

Called and at 280 feet,nothing much so we went ahead the the rest of the way.
He called back again to say we had water but not a lot(5 gpm),enough for a house but that was it.

I said a prayer and told him to go another 40 feet.He called back an hour or so later and we were getting 15 GPM....

So we now have a well,we are getting the septic installed and will hopefully be moving up there in the near future....:baby04:

Thank you.

It was certainly nerve wracking as we REALLY couldn't pay more than what we did....
