Catching Up: The Well Is Completed

Since I've just started this blog, it's time to catch up to where we are in the construction schedule. First thing to talk about is the digging of the well. The thing about wells is that despite mankind's amazing technologies, well-digging is still an art full of superstition and just plain luck. Since a well will be our source of water, we were naturally concerned about the flow rate we would end up with (remember what I mentioned about luck?).

Our well is dug and... (drum roll please)... we've got almost 40 gallons per minute! "OK", you say, "so what does that mean?". It means we will have plenty of water for ourselves and our vegetable and herb gardens. Hurray!
