  • I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
    I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
    Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards. Thanks for watching.

    There's something immensely satisfying about watching a well come into operation. And of course the mouse escape ramp is always a compassionate touch!

      When I was small I used to insist my parents left a strip of lavatory paper hanging over the side of the bath so that spiders could climb out. (Now I'm an adult I've realised that not cleaning the bath has much the same effect. Easier, too!)

    Those pumps usually have gaskets and washers made of leather. They tend to dry out especially during the off season, but once they've been wet for a while they swell back up. They also make cheap kits to replace them when they get to be in really bad shape.

    Post, you are always teaching us something. At least I'm learning. My grandmother had a well and you could only drink from the well. Inside had lots of iron or something. I just know we couldn't drink it.
    I remember it fresh, clear, and cold. 😊 ohhh, and lots of pumping..for us kids.

    Not rubber or cork, it's leathers. And it's suction not compression. When I was a boy one of my chores was to carry drinking water about a hundred yards to the house and I learn then two buckets were easier to carry than one.. Thanks for bringing back old memories. You're a good man. God bless.

    Racoons aren't "washing their hands". That's a human label given to that activity, which actually to moisten the skin on their paws to feel what the object they are holding is....i.e. food or not food.

  • @kingofawesomeness5375

    As a city slacker that has never actually seen a well in action in person, it blows my mind how you just have a thing that makes water ex nihilo, without you having to pay. I'm aware that it's not really ex nihilo and you do pay for some stuff but you get my point.

    • @post.10
      @post.10  24 дні тому

      Definitely cheaper than paying a water bill. Since its powered by you without the equipment. If you have a house that runs off a well, you're just paying for the upkeep of the equipment and electricity for the pump, so if you use a lot of water, it's a lot cheaper than city water, but on the other hand if you barely use the water maybe not so. Pressure tank every eight years about it's going to be a grand. A few 1000 more of the electric pump breaks. The electric pumps can last a long time mine is original and over fifty years old. The equipment running nonstop is barely any stress, but turning on and off constantly is what damages a well system
