Up or Down

That is certainly a description of the last 24 hours here! Yesterday the well pump died of old age- right after I'd soaped up in the shower (definitely a downer!). We managed to get through the night and found and found a reputable well and pump fellow to come today. He was great and has us hooked up for water now. Definitely on the upside now!

I saw this switch for the machine which pulls the cable and pump up from the bottom of the well and remembered that it was one of the prompts for this month. It was actually a few days ago but I'm posting it anyway. Just a few more passes to clear out the particles in the water and we'll be good as new.

Classic moment for it to stop! My Mum in Law used the garden well for many decades. When it finally silted up and became unuseable, she was horrified to discover she had to actually PAY for water on the mains!

A wonderful subject to illustrate your adventure!

[Shutterbug]

Of course it had to wait until you were soaped up….Murphy’s Law. Glad to hear it’s on the upswing.

[haskar]

An ordinary thing but a nice shot. I'm glad you found a good specialist and can now enjoy your shower.

Thank you so much for your comments, cheers, views, and favs! The new pump is great and we're back on track again. We still have to be careful with the water as we're listed as being in a moderate drought, but I don't mind that as log as I have enough water to shower. (o:

@bjywamer flicked off as much as I could and mopped up the rest with the bath towel.

Two long days in a row- so I'll be back tomorrow to comment. Thanks for your patience.

Nice shot

[Dorothy]

So glad it was a relatively quick fix!
Cool pic.

@illinilass Me too! I'm pretty good about going without electricity- but going without water is a very different story! Thanks Dorothy!

@kjarn Thank you Kathy!
