It's my dad's project and his boomer brain doesn't like planning exact measurements too much, but that said the roof isn't finished and when we put the shingles it won't matter too much I hope.
What are you guys doing with it, anon? My wife and I just bought a house and, after the fact, were showed that the original town-well is on our property right next to our house. Not sure wtf to do about it/make of it. Previous owner told us that he stuck a gopro down there on an aluminum rod and it goes about 20 feet down before hitting water, and then it's a fast moving current. We're trying to figure out wtf to do with this information.

Yeah it's all limestone karst around here (Maryland Piedmont region) so all the water around here comes from limestone aquifers. I DOUBT it's good enough to drink due to agricultural run-off, but I will get it tested out of curiosity.
>Previous owner told us that he stuck a gopro down there on an aluminum rod and it goes about 20 feet down before hitting water, and then it's a fast moving current.
Did he get the go-pro back?
Yeah, he said it was just fast moving water, couldn't see shit. Will be sending my uncle's down there when he comes over with magnet fishing stuff.
If it's 'fast moving' it's some kind of underground stream. Run a microhydro down there, for power. Now you have power and water, so, if you have septic or an outhouse, you are offgrid. Greywater can be diverted to the lawn/garden.
The city/water district poisons their water, even if the source is ok. They should use ozonation, but instead use hydrofluorosilicic acid, which is 75% fluoride, which, is why iodine reverses fluoride's affects in high enough quantities. No, it is not a meme; They are both halides. Go look it up on an atomic chart. They also add chlorine, another nasty halide that reacts with organics and stuff in the pipes.
On the subject, some wells contain fluoride. Even naturally occurring should be removed, as it turns people into domesticated cattle. India has a an issue w it so they spend a lot of resources to defluoridate their water, and don't have it as an ingredient in toothpaste, as their physicians realize it's harmful.
I was curious about the micro-hydro but will have to look into how to set it up when the water is so far away. We're actually in the middle of the historic part of town. There used to be a well-house over this well that got removed only a few years ago. Apparently the former home-owner just used the wellhouse as storage.
Make sure it's well protected so kids can't fall inside. Worst nightmare.
Definitely our biggest fear...even if we don't fill it/cap it we want to put some type of boards across the top, under the concrete, and create a semi-permanent fixture blocking off the entrance, rather than a couple bricks...I also have this great fear that I'm taking the trash around one day and the concrete crumbles and I go bye-bye...
Anyway, here's another pic for everyone. Foreground is a more recent well that served my house and the one next to it. Where the bricks are, at the edge of the concrete, is where the big well is. Whole space between the two houses (my house on right, neighbor on left) is mine.

pic of my hole. I think it's about 6-7 feet in diameter.
The water was last tested in the 70s and was drinkable. Since this place is next to the airport and highway, now we just fill this ol' MiG fuel tank using a long hose and a water pump. The well is 20-25m deep (idk yankee numbers) and we use it to clean dishes etc. since we dont have city water here.

>removing naturally occuring minerals out of your water
God intended it to be there for a reason. I don't care what soone street shitting cow worshipping homosexuals do.

Many years ago after several kids had fallen into wells, SNL actually had a sketch where two idiots described how they sat their seven kids on the edge of a well, and walked off, and heard "splash splash splash splash splash splash splash". I don't remember the rest of it, and searching just turned up a bunch of Matt Foley crap. I wonder if they would run a sketch like that in these days where everyone is so damn touchy.
Deep subject
Kinda dry lately
50 fathoms
Well I hope we don't rope us into another bucket of trouble
>>well well well
WELLY welly welly
>WELLY welly welly
WELLLITY Wellity wellity
if it isnn't little alex
Long time no viddy, droog. How goes?
OP water you trying to accomplish here
That roof looks out of rotation. It's exactly at the angle where water will run down the corners where the walls meet.
Consult your korean assemble-by-number instructions.

I'm moronic
get the water tested and if it's clean frick paying the city
