Re: Hand dug well question

I saw a video once that explained how they did that. Don't remember all of it, but they shored up the walls as they went down, then curbed it on the way up. Around here they used bricks or stone, even though we don't have stone.

Re: Look What I Broke Today!

I don't like this section! Everyone thinks I'm nearly perfect, and to post a mistake would tarnish my image. HAHAHAHAHA Had a little 6 ft WB on the stand almost finished, and I dropped the thing. Got lucky though, only broke the top hinge tab off. A little nickel rod, and almost good as new. Almost.

I vote Woodmanse. Paint or no paint. The tail is the giveaway. It also turns CCW.

Nice! You can run water anywhere if the head pipe is taller than the hill.
