Here's the update on our water situation.
We have water! Yipee! Tuesday was our promised day. But they left without any luck. So, on Wednesday, the guy told us he would not leave until we had water. I was glad to hear this so I did not do laundry. We were supposed to have it by noon. Well, at 11 am they told me that they could not get the pump back down the well because there was a build up of rust on the water line. They had to get something to fix it. They didn't return until almost 2pm. I was starting to worry, but when they got here the assured me that it was going to work. By the time Dave got home from work, we still did not have water, but they had broken up the rust line and were beginning to drop the pump. By 6pm or so we were pumping water, but it was slow going. There was still lots of gunk down the well from the acid treatment, but the gunk ended up plugging up our pump. The well guy told us that we might not have any water down there, and he went somewhere to check on that. Whoever he checked with told him that if we had a strong well for 14 years, it was unlikely that it dried up. Wednesday night, we still had no water, and I was beginning to get discouraged. Dave was thinking we might have to drill a new well after all. I'm not sure what happened on Thursday, but when I got home from work at about 7pm we were pumping water big time. The well guys were gone and Dave had all the spigots in the house opened up. He said he ran the water for about 3 hours straight. The well guy ruined our pump, so we had to buy a new one, but Dave says after 14 years we might have had only 1 or 2 more years left in the old pump anyway. We have lots and lots of water, but because our water is so crappy Dave had to put new faucets in both bathrooms and he had to clean the shower faucets and shower head out in our bathroom. We spent most of last night getting things straightened out so we could take showers. I still went to the laundry mat because Dave wanted to change the hoses on the washer. This he did this afternoon before he went to deer camp. Dave was kind of ticked at the well guy because of the pump, but the guy gave us a bit of a discount. Dave also asked for a 2 year guarantee but they guy gave us a 5 year one! He promised to stand behind his work. Believe me, that pump will get a test this summer when it comes to watering the yard and garden! Well, needless to say, we are happy to have water!
