We have had erratic water flow for as long as I can remember here and we have had the well pump and pressure tank and switches changed in our time here. Finally last Sunday the deep well finally gave in. We thought we would have to get a new pump but it is much, much worse. We have to get a new well drilled, seal up the old one and get a new pressure tank and fittings. Looking at probably $10k. Ouch!!!!
What is worse that we can't get anyone to drill a new well for weeks.
Our well pump repair man has managed to fix it so we can draw enough water from it to flush the toilets but the water is not usable for washing, drinking or doing dishes etc. It has collapsed into a sand hole so the water is brown! Yuk!
We are investigating if it is possible to get rural water piped in but so far no one has got back to us.
So we are buying water and begging some from a neighbour. Using the washer or dishwasher or shower are out and we are trying to eke out the water as much as possible. Not fun but we are surviving.
I did edge the blanket and I love how it looks now. I am very happy with it. Haven't done anything else in the 'making things' category though this week, been running around like a headless chicken trying to get the water thing sorted.
Hoping next week will be better, at least I get my first Covid shot on Thursday so that is a positive thing.
So sorry to read about your water situation, hope you manage to get a solution soon. Beautiful blanket, I love the pattern. So glad you have managed to get a vaccine.
ReplyDeleteOh, no! That sounds very difficult for you and that's a HUGE amount to have to find. Are their no grants available for necessary work like that?
ReplyDeleteI love the blanket and cheers for the vaccination. Good news there.

Thank's Joy for commenting and the suggestion about grants. I am looking into that. Got an application form being mailed out to us, will see what happens.
