Drilling 25' Shallow well with Powerhead hand auger 

Thanks 🙏

I found that the water is about 65, near by welks are 92'. My neabor let's me use his well. So I just ran 200' garden hose fir now. Good to have nice neabor s in the woods

Yeah I hear you there I'm pretty fortunate here in the city but I do have a property up north that I'm trying to get water on and boy it is tough to find water up there lol

I'm basically just going to save up some money and get a well professionally. But have to wait for prices to hopefully come down let's hope

Exactly lol

I was actually thinking about that just getting Sandpoint and trying to beat it down. But did not get a chance still scratching my head. Lol

I like that idea. Seemed like a lot of sand for me.

​@@bluephaseplus3650cable tool it in, it's slow but very very effective...google well springs Africa, or RU-vid those south American well drilling machines that use a electric motor, tire and cable tools...but you can cable tool it all by hand if you have the time and no money...like I say, slow but very effective

I made used 1/2" rigid conduit and 1/2" thread coupling. I used fan rod to connect to auger. Don't try this at home lol

Man this was a mission. My hands ✋️ were shot after that day.

Thanks for the info I'm planning on trying again in another location this winter. Is there a part # for what you're recommending interested in how to get through the clay? Thanks

Thanks that's not a bad idea. I may end up trying that. I believe my water table is 80'. So going to most likely have to hire a well driller but price is so high im just holding out for now.

Awesome thanks for your help. Was thinking of shorter pipes. Was thinking maybe 3/4". That was 1/2" ridged. I was definitely fighting the long stick s. Out in the woods did what we could

Awesome going to have to give that a try I've been thinking about round 2 😆 lol

I live in Staten Island NY and I just lost my standpoint well head down in the clay. Couldn't get the standpoint past 14 feet in the earth. Even built a tripod with 70lb weigh on a pulley to hammer it down.. No luck past 14 feet. I ordered the Seymour auger and it will be delivered tomorrow. Time for me to hand dig my well after the first epic failure.

@@Geschaefer Good luck you got this. Hard work

No water yeah Dangerous is correct. Entertainment purposes only
