A Rainy Wednesday Evening

Today started out beautifully after a night in the thirties. The sun shone brightly, and the workers started coming at about 7:45 to begin their work day. First the masons and then the well drillers. By the end of the afternoon it started to rain, but by this time the well was in and the block was finished, re-inforced and all of the equipment packed up and gone!

The work crews here are amazing. They are all hard workers and take such pride in what they do. You never see anyone leaning on a shovel. They are always in motion and it gives us a good feeling that we are helping local workers make a living.

Here are some pictures from the day...

The well drillers needed a hand leveling their truck, so I pitched in.

Once we had it level they went to work. The well went down 230 feet. They finished putting in the casing by the end of the day and moved all of their equipment to the next well project in Lake Leelanau.

Here is the finished well and the finished basement. (Well, it's not a finished basement, but its a done basement).

Here's another view.

And another. Now all we need is a house on that puppy!
