You may be joking but at our previous house after the contractor came up with two dry wells someone suggested getting a water witch to tell me where to drill. So happened I knew the guy they suggested, just didn't know he witched water. Never believed in such a thing. He stopped over walked around with his witching wires for a few minutes and said drill there, should have plenty of water around 30 feet. They drilled and hit water at 32 feet. We were only getting 1.5 gal/minute. Contractor wanted to go deeper because the bank wanted 4 gal/minute, I was warned that neighbors had hit salt and sulfur below 40 feet. Driller suggested we let it set for a few days and see if the veins opened up. Came back in 3 days and we had 4.5 gal/minute. Good water but high in iron. Rented a water softener and iron filter. Iron filter plugged up after a few months and the company refused to replace/service it, just took it out. Softener seem to take out enough iron that it wasn't a problem, company had to service it more often than normal. They kept trying to sell it to me and I kept telling I liked the set rental fee and free service.

Watched 30 minutes or so of house going over the amendments on TV tonight. The pro representatives had good arguments. Several Democrats from Nashville and Memphis spoke against with pretty bogus reasons like loss of training for people carrying (the democrat compared the permit training being similar to military gun training) and the police associations be against it so a vote for was a vote against the men in blue. The funniest negative was a Democrat from Memphis that asked about not only the loss of income from fewer permits but the extra money in the budget. The fellow presenting the Bill explained that the increase was for the longer sentences for breakers of the stricter laws for stealing guns and longer sentences for other gun crimes. The Memphis rep said that didn't seem fair to increase penalties for people caught up with attractive nuisances such as guns being stolen from cars. Guess he didn't his voters put in jail.

You got lots of good advice/suggestions so will not get into any of what has been covered. We were on a well for 10+ years, I like the taste, my wife didn't. We did have a softener. They ran water down our road and between my wife not liking the water and I figured the well pump probably would need replacing in a few more years we switched to town water. I wanted to have both available with a separate faucet for my drinking water and for washing cars and such, town would not allow it, so I filled in the well. Probably the biggest positive to switching (on my side) is we didn't lose water when the power when out. It was 220 well pump and I didn't want to invest in an expensive generator just for the well pump.

Slight stretch for old guns and I did hammer a few cap rolls but I really like stuffing one of these full of caps.

Just realized this is a repeat so here is a bonus. We will go modern fire power this time.

More fire power may be needed. This one take a 500 cap roll. Ever see a 500 roll?

Congrats on escaping and welcome to the free state of TN and TGO.

I always called them tulip trees. Comes in several colors.

Ok just what is that?
