Finishing the Wells


Well Hole


In case you want to know what an unfinished well hole looks like ... here it is.




Well Pipe


The first step in the process is to fish 215 feet of looped pipe into the hole.






Pipe into the Ground


It takes a while.




More Pipe


The boss does his part.





Fill It With Water


Then you have to fill the pipe with water from our pre-existing well. This water will be replaced next week with a "city water and alcohol" mixture to prevent freezing and corrosion.




2nd & 3rd Wells


Then you have to do the same thing to the other two wells.





Grout Machine


Then you have to "fire up the grout machine". The grout is poured into the well to permanently seal it. It's a special grout that doesn't give off heat in the drying process. If it did, the pipes would melt ... not a good thing ;-)




Grout Pumping
