We are now getting 25 gallons per minute on the well, which is very strong water pressure. The well alone cost $7000, and that’s just for digging it. The rest of the infrastructure – piping to the house, hookup, the pressure system, etc – is all extra. I am starting to see why raw land stays raw…

We Have a Well!
The man leading the team digging for the well called a few days ago and informed us that at 180 feet, they found water. The well is getting approximately 5-6 gallons per minute, which is good enough for both the yurt and the future house. The well guy has suggested a constant-pressure system, which we intend to use. The successful well was dug in the lower area near the walnut grove, not too far from our giant sycamore tree. The well guy said that he’s always had success finding water near sycamore trees. What a relief! It looks like we’ll have a yurt after all…
