Driveway

Here is another pic of the new roadway made for the well truck to access the well site.

Bro fun

Bro came home for Thanksgiving and it was one of the nicest ones I've had in a while. He and I played loggers in the woods for three days. He did all the chain sawing and I did 95% of the clearing.
You can see the last one with the huge root system he is cutting, that is by the swampy area, near the well site. Look to the left and see the long cleared roadway. This is what we were clearing for the well truck to get in.

Final well site

Yes, I have picked it, finally after weeks of torturing myself. I am confident now, that this is the right spot.
It is down by where the stream floods out (near the old goat field).

Deed

I need to get the deed form at the legal supply place, get two tax forms from the county clerks office, get survey, subdivision through the town, possible title search, pay Ma, and bring signed and notarized deed and the signed (buyer and seller) tax forms back to the county clerks office. I'll have to check and see if there is a filing fee. The county clerks office notifies the assessors office of the purchase.
This is what I will be doing during the cold winter months.

Relief

I finally chose the spot for the well. After careful (too careful) deliberation with myself, dreams, God, the trees, the fairies, snakes, and spiders in the woods, the dowsers, friends, and the well driller it has been decided.
Yeah!!!!!
Drum roll please...The lower spot! That is it. The first intersection of veins June and Betts selected two months ago wins!
Now that I have made the decision the torture is over. At least for this big decision. We'll see about the next one.
The well drillers contract has been sent back to him, signed, so we are getting close.

Bro home, Great Aunt died

Bro came home last night and it actually worked out if you can say death worked out...that Great Aunt passed and the wake was today. The part that worked out is that Ma has him there to keep her company since Great Aunt and Ma were so close.
Ma is sad and it is a comfort to know Bro will keep her active and in good company.
We went out to lunch at the Lebanese Restaurant after the wake today. Bro is taking her out-of-state for the big turkey day.
As for the 'project' Bro is going to clear some trees with his trusty chainsaw. I swear he comes home just so he can use it. He loves the smell of gasoline vapors and grey smoke blowing up his nose.
I marked off, yes, more string in the woods, the areas to clear. 110' x 75' for the leach field and the roadway for the well truck.

Don't forget the junkyard

Bro had a great idea I must act on. He suggested I contact his buddy, the junkyard guy, and ask if he has a culvert! I have been looking on freecycle and re-use-it on the Web but, duh, what about old school? The junkyard is where so many treasures are waiting to be loved.

I mailed Barry, the-well-guy, the signed contract. So baby steps forward.

I erased myself off of whitepages.com today. They have an easy way to take yourself off. After a conversation with Sis, it was decided I need to get my phone number removed from as much as possible before the identity theft bandit is arrested. He is Internet savvy, after all.

Bandit caught

The identity theft bandit in my life has been identified. (Thanks to my detective work and the help of all the many vendors that have been calling my house, and the companies that have been billing to my phone number). The detectives questioned the perp and he admitted to doing it. They let him go and now will arrest him soon. I have changed my phone number, so if you want me you can post here in comments or email me.

Culvert

6", 8", 10", 12", 15", 18", 36" plastic culverts are available for the intermittent stream.
12" = 165.00 15" = 215.00
18" = 319.95
20 foot sections.
Delivered $15.00.
I'm going with the 12". If it ends up there is even a ton more water in the spring we will double it up.

Culvert

Sammy is coming by to check out what Barry wants in terms of culvert and tree felling in order to get his truck in. Cool. Sammy will put in the culvert, etc. I hope this coming week.
I spoke with June this morning, I suppose I was really looking for reassurance of which great spot to put the well. We have two dowsed spots, one up and one down. The one up has a really strong pull on the rods when you walk past the vein, the lower spot sort of floats to a crossed position. There is definitely energy disturbance in both areas, even I feel it with my tiny rods. I must decide without delay, so that we can put the culvert in and dig the well this next week. I am going to go meditate and pray on it on-site tomorrow. Please lead me God.
I am excited because once the well is happening it all becomes so real!
Yikes and Yeah at the same time.

This is next.
