We installed our simplepump mostly simply. It has a cylinder 110 feet down (or so), and is set up to pump by hand. Some day we may add a DC motor to the top of the pump. We love having no electrical parts down in the well!
Then Mickey fitted an attachment.
A valve for the pipe that will eventually run to the house.
And a boiler valve for water to be taken off directly at the well.
We love having our own water! It's a pretty good workout too.
Then, to my great surprise, I came home from work one day to find the water line run to the house! Huzzah! Now we are in business for real.
Meanwhile, Mickey has also been working on the destinations of our water, such as the bathroom sink and vanity! (Hopefully the bathroom sink will be a more common destination than the vanity.)
Faucet installed.
With an outlet for a switch for a light fixture that will hang over the vanity.
Wall!
Wall and ceiling!!!
He has also begun framing for the utility sink.
Now all we need is to fill up the cistern...
