What happens here
This project details the process of installing a hand-pump well, starting from purchasing components at a hardware store, using dousing rods to locate the best water source, augering and hand-pounding the well pipe into the ground, dealing with unforeseen problems like broken couplings, and finally testing the water flow. The ultimate goal is to establish a water source that will eventually be enclosed within a greenhouse structure.
