We Have Water!

... and we have SNOW!

But, first the WATER!  Our well digging team has been hard at work these past few weeks...

 

 

And maybe, just maybe the water is kind of gray...What's up with that?!

Not to worry, all is well... just found out we were drilling through the shale layer... (thank goodness, was very nervous for a minute).  But our fabulous well team:

 

hit pay dirt... clean, cold water... this week past!

 

 

Our job now is to run the well 3-4 hours at a time over the next few days to clear the sediment that drilling stirred up.  Easy-Peasy!

Except for the snow... and ice... in Texas... in March!

 

 

 

 But we were able to sneak in a little painting on the one good day we've had! Which is really great because our fabulous well team covered the well head pump:

 

with this questionably beautiful, but fully functional metal cover:

 

 

 And ya'll I like Blue just fine... but Camo is so much better out here in the sticks!

 

Oh, and the well water holding tank?  We slide it into the Rail Container for safe keeping!  

 

When we get ready to run water lines to the house we're all set.  And one of these days there will be a house!  I might have mentioned before that time in the country moves SLOW...  But, oh, so worth the wait!

Next up, the septic system.  I'm sure everyone's as excited as we are!  Spring come soon and melt all this snow and ice... we're ready for some Blue Skies and Sunshine...

Bundling up in Grace,   Always,
