The new house has a well! Well... Kinda. Idk if it works.
That's the view of it from the patio. When we first viewed the property, I thought it was a storage shed til I went and checked it out. That's when I got excited.
It need a little work. On the paperwork the notes said "water well on property in unknown condition." Challenge accepted.
So I put a status half-jokingly on Facebook asking for an anarchist with water well experience in my area. Good friend from work said she knows someone, and I'll be calling them. Til then, I need to get the well house in order. Here's the before pics.
Fence is butted up to the roofline. I'd like to put a rainwater collection system running off the roof.
Pump. Don't think it's hooked up.
Uh oh. What's happening here?
Oh no. What roof? What electrical? What tank? Questions, questions, questions.
We'll see what happens. Taking measurements tomorrow to see what I need. I'll probably start taking out all the old insulation too. I'm gonna see what of it I can service myself, but I've never worked on a well, so it may present a major cost. Will probably be worth it though because that water will be free, while city water will be a constant expense.
I'm also going to consider building the chicken coop on the side of the well house.
Wanted to post this as a starting point for one of my projects as we get our little homestead running.
Thanks for reading. If anyone has any info on wells, let me know. Otherwise, I'm gonna be spending even more time googling :)
Stay relevant y'all

Sorry don't know anything about wells.
On the first picture it looks that it also has a satellite receiver on the roof. Is that so?

Seriously no TV, pretty rare in these days!
Nothing wrong with it dough! Just can’t imagine it, missing lots of sports!

Yeah, I'm not that into sports lol
I watch game of thrones sometimes, and an occasional movie with the wife, but we usually play board games and look over our budget for the 894th time.
Definitely not enough tv to justify another bill. Netflix covers anything the kids would want to watch.

Netflix is indeed good enough for the kids. Mmh, not for the oldest one, he is crazy about football!
He did get a punishment last week, he wasn't allowed to watch anything which did need electricity to operate :) It was great, taking time for each other, playing board games! We decided to do this more often, the board games I mean not the punishement :)

If you get this working, post a video.
