    When my dad was alive he did wells and drilled for water. While you’re doing that make sure you test your water also. You can test the gallons per minute when you do your other tests before you hook up the water to the house.
    Watching you guys pulling your pump out of the well brought back so many memories of my dad. He was pulling a pump out of a 350 foot well, by hand, and was looking grey to an employee who called my step mom. He wouldn’t go get checked out so they had me call him and convince him to go to the doctor. His only complaint was that his back hurt between his shoulder blades. I convinced him to be seen at lunch and he was actually having a heart attack. The next day he had open heart surgery where he had a 6 way bypass. He lived for another 10 years I told this story to say that men like him, and I bet Josh is the same way, hardly complain about stuff and just go on. This can be dangerous because they don’t get checked out when they should!! Please guys don’t just let stuff go, get checked out, if not for yourself do it for your family!!

      My Dad was like Josh. He worked 16 hours a day his entire life. If he didn't know how to do something he was an expert by the time he finished his project. My Dad had a stroke while working at his side job. He wouldn't go to the hospital. Eventually my Brother picked up and put him in the truck. He recovered physically and to some extent mentally. He lived another 3 years.

      Thank you for sharing this with us, I went through the same with my dad, waiting a year to avoid preexisting condition for insurance. Retired military have the best medical plan with complete coverage. We finally got him to go get checked out, he needed a triple bypass. The nurse asked me to push him to wake up so they could remove the respirator. He was furious with me for months for not letting him sleep. : ) He is still with us 30 years later, but not much longer, mom went before him, I miss her so much, she is a wonderful character, likes to check in with her great granddaughter.

    Hello my friends! :D
    I feel for you guys as we have lost our water due to our well pump here before and had to bring our well pump up twice in the past month. My handsome husband and I pulled it up together, with the help of our backhoe, the first time, 350 feet, then we fixed the issues with the wire, got it running and put it back down. A few hours later we tried to get water and got nothing. Then we had to wait for our son to come out and help pull it back out the second time, as the backhoe died and I wasn't strong enough with my back issues to help my handsome husband alone. We got it out the second time and ended up completely replacing our pump and wires. It was an expensive and painful process, but now we should be good for at least 5 years, hopefully closer to 8, like this last pump. :D
    Wishing you guys nothing but blessings with your guest property and the guests that visit it. :D
    God bless you and your wonderful family. Have an awesome day my fabulous friends! :D

  • @marklengal9990

    FYI- future reference, tape the wire to the pipe every 10 ft while it’s on the ground before placing back in well.
    This helps prevent the wire from Chafing against the side on the well.

    We built a 2 leg a frame with a cross piece with a tire rim to run the pipe and wire over. Center it up and it worked great and have several neighbors borrow it to change pumps in there wells. It's about 18" wide and 3 1/2' tall w/ 24" base. Just a thought if you ever need to do it again. Can use tractor or what ever to pull it out and lower it back down Stay Safe

      @WildWonderfulOffGrid  Рік тому +8

      That was when we were pulling it out (the old water line). When we put the new water line it was able to go right in without touching the casing. Pulling it out was really tough- it definitely wouldn’t have been possible to pull it out without taking breaks but fortunately we decided ahead of time to replace everything 😊

    Three of us pulled a pump out of a ~300' well. We were spent with it part way out and no way to hold the pipe while we rested. A call to a friend up the road for reinforcements did the trick. He laughed when he arrived since he had some experience with this type of task. He said our screwup was not having a well pipe clamp to hold the pipe when we needed a rest. Hindsight is almost always 20-20. Why did we have to pull it out? It ended up too deep and plugged with silt. Ah yes, fun getting the pitless adapter back in.

    My grandmothers well was 524ft. Pulling that thing out was an experience.

    Love how you can figure things out. The kids were a great help, Allie was a super trooper. She knew it wasn’t almost done. LOL
    Please take care and stay safe
