    I sure hope you hit clear, delicious water!

    60 feet and nothing but gravel! We were expecting to hit bedrock at about 50 feet. Bedrock is substantiallly cheaper to drill through than the rest of the ground. Driller is coming back in the morning to go deeper. Probably get to 100 feet tomorrow, at least.

    140 feet and nothing! Hasn't even hit bedrock yet. The driller says he's never gone this deep without hitting rock. He's coming back tomorrow to go deeper! I'm feeling a little ill....

    Wow! Seems like you will never hit it. I'm so jelouse of the life you live. I can't imagine sitting in the back of a sled with dog's pulling you! Living out in the middle of Alaska with twenty something sled dogs. Drilling in your yard for water!! LUCKY! (ok, maybe not the water part but it sure beats city life!)

    Did you ever think about have a border? I could help feed, build fences and help haul water, lol

    Good luck!

    If I had a spare room or a cabin, I'd have a handler(which is someone who does all of those things you listed and then some in return for free rent). It would be nice sometimes!

    I think we'll have to call the driller off at about 200 feet--unless he'll take installments on his bill!

    Not much sitting or standing on a dogsled, unless you are the passenger in the basket. The driver actually has to do a lot of work!

    I hope you hit water soon!! I'm not sure how deep our well is right now, but we are moving to Arizona in about a year, and I know drilling a well is one of the things my parents are worried about, not knowing how deep it is going to have to be, I know it is pretty spendy though! Good luck!

    Any water yet? How are the doggies taking the drilling noise?

    Also, after you get water, we need to talk about snorkle stoves. Nothing like soaking in a hot tub watching the stars and Northern Lights.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Hmm, looks like we could build a cabin on all that land you got I've got great references

    Good luck with the water, I hope you hit some, eventually!
