Great! Another problem.
My mother in law is staying here this week to help me with the kids while I transition to the new firm. she heard a noise at 5 am. Kind of a wining noise she said. I thought it was my water softener.
she called me a little later and told me we had no water. so I told her where to find the repairman’s number for the softener. He came over and told her it was not the softener, but he turned it off to protect it.
So I told her how to find the well driller’s number. He came over. It turns out the saddle came unseated and I’ve been pumping water into the swamp via underground railroad for a few months. In the spring there would have been a sink hole in the yard. He dug up the yard and fixed the problem. the well was flooded with dirt, so he had to pull the pump and clean it. Then he bleached the well and here we are - no water for 2 days, a garden hose running in the frozen night to empty the bleach, and $865 poorer.
tomorrow, we have to run the hose for a few more hours until there is no longer a bleach smell. then run it a little longer. then maybe thursday we can drink the water.
We could drink it now, but bleach makes you have diarhea. no one wants that.
hmmm. they put bleach in white flour. hmmmm
