Oh, we've been back. I gifted this early 1800 privy to my brother and yep... more water. Some how these holes remind me of when I was married. Anyway near by I found a surface dump so...

I would consider living in that cellar like a bottle Gollum.

Re: RE: The well was'nt a well....

End? It's just getting started. Last year by time I got the pump finaly going it was to late. The water table raises to high in the sping to pump it,I've tried over and over for the last year. A couple of weeks ago I went in and scooped out a few things then finally yesterday I humped the pump back in. Only had a couple hours but managed to pump it down and get in to dig a sump hole down through the glass. still have'nt found the bottom yet Left about 50 bottles on the bank in there but tossed a few out through the hole.Heres some pics for now, I'm getting ready to go back today Happy Digs, Don

Cool, I hope you don't lose any to just plain being cold out. I'm glad your back at it though.[]

"Well" I got back over there today and had to get a few things out of the way to make a sump hole. Did I mention the frogs? well... yesterday some thing half slithered/ crawled to the waters edge. I really treid not to pay attention to it since I'm in a hole,alone out in the woods. It was a half grown bullfrog about 4" long with a tail and little front legs. I don't think it gets cold enough in there for them to hibernate. Had 1/2 doz. frogs swimming around me today. Anyway I did get to grab some glass and live through the frogs to show ya some. Only got a few cleaned and a couple pics before dark but here they are. Happy Digs... Don
