The bigger problems are getting the drilling rig to the site, and then figuring out how to pump the water. A hand pump would be best, but I don't think it will pull water fifty feet. Still working on that aspect.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07479195212681003809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5959585701939155085.post-3719482039792691492011-05-10T13:41:18.712-07:002011-05-10T13:41:18.712-07:00Just a comment on drilling wells.

After he finished working in the hospital, he opened a business in country drilling fresh water wells. This is an iffy business in Honduras as the the underground aquafer is not open in all locations. It is not uncommon to drill dry wells. I have lost track of Pad over the years, but I'll bet that Becky and Dave still know where he is. He may be a useful resource to tap if you need to consider the "how" of getting a well drilled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
