I took Monday off to take Bernie to the vet and hand-deliver our building permit to the county inspection office.

When I came back I found that the well guys had arrived and were dowsing the spot where we wanted to place the well. I was a bit nervous because there were not too many other places to put the well, so I hoped this one would be a good spot.

They asked if anyone had dowsed the location. I said no, I can only dowse ledge. After laughing he said he couldn’t have picked a better spot. So they set up their rig and started drilling that afternoon. I had to leave at 5. By then I think they were already 200 feet down and had set casing down to 40 feet.
