So this morning I arrive at the site with a dozen donuts, all ready to begin the well drilling. I was met by two gentlemen and I asked where the rest of the crew was. Silly me, I didn't realize it only takes one or two guys to drill a well - who knew. Those guys worked hard all day long! They drilled down to 200' and no water. So much for hoping to hit it at 60'. The best part was I was totally freaking out each time they added 20'. Someone at sometime told me it was about $100 a foot to drill a well. With each 20' I was thinking, okay I guess I don't need granite countertops, okay I guess I don't really need a balcony outside my bedroom and I probably don't need a breakfast bar in my room. Luckily, the guys told me it was only $23 a foot. I felt so much better and was ready to start drilling again. After talking it over, the guys decided to call it a day and said they would go look at some maps of the placement of wells in the area and come back to start it all over. So my well drilling blog will be continued...................
