Wading across ass-deep water? Wading across ass-deep water when it's 60 degrees, with the cold north wind blowing at 25-30 mph, then having to work in those wet clothes.
But, pump was pulled again and hubby attached foot valve. I nearly froze my ass off waiting for all of the PVC pipe and glue to dry. Finally, it's dry enough and we wrangle the 2 sections of 100 foot pipe. By the time we got most of the pipe back down the well, my back was killing me. But, hubby gets it wired and I trudge back through all of the deep water to the electric box and flip the switch.
Low and behold......we have water. Woohoo!! My job is done and hubby says, "I knew you were good for something". I give him my most evil glare and all he can do is grin.
I come into the house and turn the water on to clear the air from the lines and with the smell of the water, I have to open the windows. I like bleach...when I do laundry...but that's it. But, being as that is the only way that we can disinfect the well, this is the price we pay.
At about 6 p.m., the water was deemed fit for use. Not for drinking just yet, but good enough to wash clothes and dishes. Never thought I'd be so happy to wash dishes.
I was able to fix our septic system problem on my own. I was able to reset everything in the control box and stop those damned sprinklers from going non-stop. Yay, for easy fixes!!
Anyways, I'm off to watch Chronicles of Riddick....I hope I like it as much as Pitch Black. Oh well, it's Vin Diesel. If nothing else, I can close my eyes and just listen to his voice.
