A Beautiful Hand Dug Well

Digging this water well took place over the course of two years. Slow and steady. I will also add that should you pursue such an endeavor do it as safe as possible. If you encounter unstable soil then stop immediately and take the time to case the well to that point before proceeding. In addition you must prevent fall hazards to yourself and others. Cover the well and fence it off when it's not being worked and use a well secured ladder to enter and exit the well. I took a projectile dog to the back of head once while digging.
