- Finish the fence around 11 acres
- Hang the gates
- Install the well pump
- Connect the well to the new tank
To this point, none of the gates had been installed in the fence. Two large gates had to be placed along the road and man gates were places in other areas. This completed the fence!
The second task was to finish the well setup. The well is an artisian well, which means that it has enough pressure to free flow when it is uncovered. This is a bit of a problem since the well pump has to have wires attached for power. Chris had to find a way to seal the well several feet below the cap. He found a product that is installed several feet down to seal the water line and which has the wiring pre-run through it.
After connecting the wiring and dropping the well pump, the sealer is sunk in the well. A hole for the water outlet is below the sealer. The pipe for the water outlet has to be run to the tank a couple of feet below ground. The same trench is used to hold the wiring that runs from the shed to the well. This wiring is used to power the well pump.
