Well, the much anticipated well drilling is ongoing at the moment. Currently, we are down around 200 feet. When you all were asking me what depth they were anticipating for good yield, the answer was about 175. Unfortunately, we aren't quite getting the flow we are looking for. Fortunately for us, there were some savings early on that will allow us to keep drilling deeper at no additional cost. We will go to around 275 to see if we can get the 350-500 gallons per minute we need to make wells (without a pond) an option for our future watering needs.
We should have a good idea if not later tonight tomorrow as we plunge further into the earth. Cross your fingers and hope that we can get a good geyser going soon!
The video is just a shot of the drill working away as it has the past few days. Now, however, the compressed air they pump in is bringing our water to the surface and not just spoils. Have a look.
