28 viewsAfter many problems with dirty well water the problem was finally resolved. There is a large break in the bottom of the well (lower left side), which is seen once all the water is pumped out. The hole needs to be patched so water cannot 'pour' in like this. (12-Jul-04)dozer

28 viewsAs far as the building process, I would try to do better management of materials. If you buy materials too soon, packaging gets damaged, things get misplaced and by the time it gets tried, it is too late for a return. If stuff is not purchased soon enough the workers run out of material and have to stop and wait. On future projects I will organize, stockpile and inventory materials better, and have a process to check at one time in the day for materials needed. For low cost materials I'll use a petty cash system that lets the boss go buy materials when needed. It is amazing how much junk assembles during a building project!dozer

28 viewsOne of the finishing steps of a well is placing small stones around the outside of the well. What the well digger had neglected to mention is that he had put large chunks of blocks around the well instead of small stones. This shows the blocks after being dug out . (12-Jul-04) dozer
