WWMD: House Buying

[BCMtnHound]

Ouch! Didn't you go down to the local watering hole and hire the local water witch? Or did you?

Welcome to home ownership. Every project that requires money goes like that. Actually times 5 if your wife's decision is involved.

280', no water yet. Yikes.

I'm predicting 320' and a total of $20k plus when it's all done.

Yes, I did. I'm drilling where he said to do it. He taught me how. I have now found 2 water lines.

I'm learning it quick.

That sounds great, I budgeted for double both those figures.

Hmm. Either the lines were dry, meaning you didn't learn what you thought you did...
Or, the water lines had water, making the need to drill 300+ft unnecessary?





Sorry, long day and can't help being an ass!
Best of luck with your divining/drilling.

Actually both had water. One was the water line for the house which has multiple check valves and actually still had water in it. The other was the water main at my office. Work dudes made fun of me so after some peer pressure I went and did my witchery. Couple days later the public utilities guys were out there and I asked where the water line was... I was dead on.

^^^Nice!

You'd better watch out. If you run into the wrong people and they find out about your water wizardry, they might burn you at the stake.

[capulin overdrive]

Hired. I'll be watching for an old semi-truck.

I think for the upper terminal on the rope tow we should be able to access it with a dozer and do whatever concrete work or what have you for a safe and strong tower placement.

Motorized carriage?

Not to worry c, just shoot his way out.

After the wif runs through all ur $ from the day job, divining could be the nites-n-weekend gig.

I wanna see you do it with a plastic hanger /;~>

Witch was right, got the water.

Aaron was close on depth and cost.

Kewl. How many GPM?

Kewl. How many GPM?

1gpm. He's trickling slower than a 75 year old with a prostate problem.

Mbillie's thread bump reminded me I should give you kooks an update. Been a busy spring/summer/fall. As many of you might remember, the home we purchased was a foreclosure with contested water supply that had been unoccupied (by humans, not rodents) for at least 2 years. And the house was poorly maintained for at least 10. So lots of work to do.


Lots of garbage to deal with.


This must be the sweat equity they keep talking about. The bank paid a trashout services to empty the house but they did a poor job. We discovered the attic still had stuff in it.


We drilled a well.



Installed some utilities


Replaced a relay


Cleaned and sealed the water tank. (1200 gallons gravity fed to house = water for quite a while with no power.)


Occasionally we got to enjoy the property, not just work on it.


Went for some backyard hikes


meh.


Ski terrain this winter?


Rented some equipment


Made room for a (future) shop/garage.


May as well rent a dozer too.


I have so much room for car projects now.




Fall is here. Time to wrap up the outdoor projects and turn the efforts inside (and toward skiing.)

I get that. Up at 6am this morning to try and get some more projects done before winter fully sets in.

[Foggy_Goggles]
