In Reply to: Let there be water. posted by old on January 04, 2010 at 19:59:42:
It's nice to have running water ain't it??? I just replaced my 12 or so year old well pump a few weeks back. Unfortunately mine was fairly deep, 160 feet down, but I was able to do it 20 feet at a time, uncoupling pipe and untaping wire as I went and recoupleing it and retaping the wire every 8 or so feet going back. Thankfully the crane on my current service truck had enough height so I didn't have to do it by hand like I did when lightning got it the last time. This go 'round the pump was still working but the coupling on top of the pump (plastic and part of the pump so not repairable) where it hooks to the pipe had cracked multiple times and was letting the water spray out there instead of building pressure in the line. You made out OK money wise even though you got bit by the wire...(we did Dad's about 3 years ago and he had the same problem, shorted wires, and his was taped and closer to 200 feet down). I had to go with a 1/2HP 220 pump and by itself it cost me nearly $350. With new pipe couplings, tape, etc it wound up costing me in the $400 range complete. Oh well the price we pay for modern conveniences.....

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
