With all the drought going on in Texas and the rest of the nation, it was a matter of time before my creek started to run dry. My well was hand-dug in the early 1920s and is only 12 to 14 feet deep. In order to get to the deeper water I used compressed air and a 3/4 PVC pipe and blew out sediment and as the PVC pipe was pushed down another 15 feet.
After doing this, water was restored and what a relief! Able to shower and wash dishes without using bottled water at $.75 a gallon.
I bought an Aeromotor windmill from a local rancher and it is in very good working condition. The fan isn't damaged and the tower is in usabe condition. I was able to purchase the whole rig for $200 and will look for some help getting it raised next week. Most windmills I looked at were in the $1200+ plus price range!
Momre later.
