Cup o' Joe and Tea Too

Hello

I would hire it done at this stage of the game! But finances dictate that I do it! Shouldn`t be too bad I have a friend who has a Bobcat skid steer I can use. That will make short work out of pulling it! Last time was with the schools ford 4000 with a front end loader, worked well! I think the last time I pulled it to replace was at least 20 years ago! Good deal you got your outside work done before more heat! Finally cooled off here 57 degrees at 5:00 am!

What size pipe do you have plumbed into the well? I use 1 1/4 inch, mainly because that's what was there when I bought the place. But I follow a well driller on YouTube and he uses strictly one inch, big rolls of it. Looks much simpler.

Well, I did beat the heat as far as the weed eating is concerned but when I backed the mower out of the shed I felt the sun cooking the back of my neck, so now it's sitting under a shade tree waiting for later this evening.

No sense to get half baked in the sun for sure!

1 1/4 galvanized, it is a shallow well jet pump. I think the problem with it is water is bleeding past the check valve ( a new one ) over night when there isn`t any use. I`m pretty sure a bit of rusty scale gets lodged between the check valve and the valve seat only happens occasionally. I get up in the morning no pressure and pump is running. Prime it and good to go! But since it is at least 20 years old I am putting everything in brand new, pump, bladder and all piping, valves ect. If it lasts another 20 years I won`t be around to find out! Lol

What’s up!?

Changed bedding in our 10 x 35 run this am and hauled the shavings and poop up to the towns compost site (I don`t really have room to compost more at the moment)! Planted a second crop of cabbage for fall harvest! How about you?

Well, got the mowing done, all except one area under some trees. It still looked good. It took about an hour and a half. Not bad. Sun was just setting as I finished up.
