I can see how this would not be something any ol' person could afford!

And of course...this is all something we down here in the lower 48 take so much for granted. I LOVE the way PT really expands all our horizons. Thanks for sharing this major accomplishment with us!
The well hole itself should be fine. It's already encased in steel. We have to get a special pump, but that is mostly because of the depth. We just have do the rest of it for the pipes from the well to the house, about 100 feet. It's taken us over 6 years to get ready financially to do this!
