Thanks for that info........10K for a new one out here and I would be very happy.....if it is needed

 

[RadMan]

How big of a tank do you suggest or use? I say go as big as budget allows which would be 5k gal if all works out

5k is a good size. If your submersible pump goes down, hauling water in for a tank load and having the 5k is smart.

Or, Make friends with your closest neighbor, and have enough hose to limp along.

 

[DILLIGAF]

My cart at Costco is over 20K and I am just getting started......Fuck me

Naw. They were hoping some rain would fall and not much fell

 

[Eliminator21vdrive]

So we need some fricken pictures! The good, bad, ugly lol...

 

[DILLIGAF]

Not taking many pics as its busy time here.

Did get invited today to a big local birthday party BBQ with of course brisket being made. Will meet a lot of locals and it sounds like a good time. We are going to go.

Other than that making lots of progress. Gave away the old john deere rusted out ride mower and the abandoned Cutlass Supreme for 100. Today. Lol. Didnt matter just wanted them gone. Lets call it a good faith deposit in the new neighborhood

Seems to be a lot of Bandito and Outlaws here but

 

[DILLIGAF]

So.....My calculated guess on the septic worked out. No issues other that pumping it and putting two new lids on it. Over time both lids became sealed. They dropped a pretty good chunk in the price as no inspect could be done.

So.....Going to get that 5k gal storge tank added to the well.

Sometimes it works out and quite frankly I needed that.

"Today was a good day!"

Lol So far its all good! Knock on wood it continues

 

[monkeyswrench]

I've had some pretty bad days...like the time I left for work with ten fingers. Any day you're still breathing, and not losing any digits, pretty good
It all depends on your perspective

 

[rivermobster]

Man I remember when you first took off. Dang that went by Fast!

Very true. I did get some chainsaw time in today. All digits accounted for.

21 right

 

[DILLIGAF]

Well...my son comes back after driving the "hood". Says get in and drive you gotta see this

 

[DILLIGAF]

Says there was a goat with them as well.

Some neighbors grabbed the pups and the big male followed my son home.

So...that makes three. Looks like a Pyrenees mix with a lab. He has a huge head and can put on a few pounds.

Left a message for the owner but I get the feeling they dont care so if they dont respond we got us a big boy.

Oh boy

 

[rivrrts429]

Definitely a Pyrenees. Insanely smart dogs that roam the perimeter property but if they don’t have a good feeling about something they can go from calm to holy fuck bat shit nuts if they sense a threat. She hates travel.

This is my Pyrenees (DNA tested). She’s an insane guard dog. They’re definitely a unique breed that has a sixth sense. She definitely has a command presence when over seeing her property. I probably wouldn’t own another but I also don’t need to worry if I locked the door. Nobody is coming in if she’s in the house lol.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Guy just came by and picked up the dad dog. Said its a pure bred Pyrenees and the pups are for sale. Very well mannered dog and told him we will take him at any point. Kind of sad to see him go..he had all sorts of potential.

Oh well

 

[Kachina26]

Is this your first time on well water? It is for me. Strange experience knowing what’s coming out of the faucet was just in the ground. After having a place in Havasu, it’s also strange to have cold water coming out of the cold side when it’s hot as balls outside.

Wait until winter, the cold side is like ice water. Ours especially, because we get colder obviously, and have an uninsulated storage tank.

lol.....First time my own personal well, yes. I have been on properties with shared wells and also had a community well.

I turned on my gas water heater yesterday....That was stupid You get warm enough water for a shower....not to do dishes though. Dishes I want it as hot as possible.

I am probably going to do a home water filter system a bit down the road.

Want to get one more bid on the holding tank before I make a decision. Might buy my holding tank direct but I understand the contractors need to make money also but....a 2X markup is excessive.

Do you have a holding tank?

I have a well house that is pretty big......what is the insulated tank you speak of? Is it a big difference in cost? It gets Prescott cold here

I do not, I don’t see any in the neighborhood either. I’m not in tract housing, but I am in a neighborhood that seems fairly uniform, I don’t know how something like that would go over. I have a small bladder tank in the garage and that’s it.

Screw that. Get one so if your well goes down you got water.

Are you on a community well or your own?

I only have a 600 gallon tank. It does come in real handy, as I had electrical issues a couple years back and lost use of the well pump. They sell insulated tanks, but never seen them in the southern climates. We've never had an issue here though. Two neighbors have 600's in their pump houses. Oddly enough, both of them have had to put heat lamps and timers in, as the insulation was not very good. I've seen a few installations that were split, one tank in pump house, and one in garage. The idea being redundancy, and both were valved to be drawn from and filled independently or together.
