Excavation

Excavation!

This is the start of a temporary road

which will allow

well drilling rigs

to drive down the hill.

We will need to strike water

before the construction loan

can finalize.

The site looks very different

already.

Here's the drill rigs in position.
The well sub-contractor went down 242 feet

to find an aquifer that meets the required

flow rate.

10gpm (gallons per minute) is average

for city water - we will be at around

12gpm - all good!

40 foot tall - impressive.

Still amazed that there is water

flowing underground that we can tap into.

Found this image that illustrates the concept.

Glad we hired this "dowsing" professional

to help us strike water.
