Well... This word has several different meanings and on Sunday afternoon it meant the place that we get water from. In preparing to get our final electrical inspection and the plumber to come back this week, we needed to get the pressure tank for the well moved inside the house. Dad and Rod moved both the electrical and the water lines into the house. All looked good at the start, the tank had power and pressure. Of course, this is the point where something is going to happen... the valve for the pressure tank is a one way valve and Rod didn't know that. So we only had water at the campers when the pump was on. For Rod to take a shower on Saturday night we had to run a hose pipe from the inside pressure tank outside through a door and let it run until the tank got low enough that the well pump kicked on and then the campers could have water as long as the hose pipe was still running and the pump stayed on.
So Saturday night is spent out to eat with Tori, Tina and Zac and then a hardware store run for an 18" drill bit for the hammer drill. Dad and Mike "shared" the cost of buying the hammer drill and now Rod has contributed a new drill bit to the mix.
It really only took Rod and Zac about 15 minutes to get the hole through the brick, 1st layer of 2 1/2" of Styrofoam, 6" of concrete and 2 1/2" more of Styrofoam.
(I'm not even going to talk about the fact that in both pictures Rod and/or Zac is holding the plug into the extension cord..)
Before the hole...
After the hole...
I have a 1" masonry bit like that... it could use a good work out once in a while.
