Your water level is on the same level of the stream or higher, that deep you reached a subterranean deposit or river. I did the same on my propriety, the water quality is much better, and doesn't dry in the summer. Anyway you should test the water, quimical and bacterial.

a very thoughtful comment.

Congrats. 35 story high is 45 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty from pedestal to torch and more than twice as high as Niagara Falls. That’s deep. Here in Chile when they drilled, because we are close to the mountains we had water at 2 meters and the well is 20 meters deep and we never miss water even in the really hot summer months when drought is around us. There is nothing like having your own well. I’m really happy for you guys. That crew worked really hard and I am happy you filmed them so that their families can have this process on KZread and be proud of their dad or/and son and see how hard they work.

I just watched a lady have her well dug. 570 she had gushing water. As all is well water folks know, what you have per gallon one day. May NOT be what you get per gallon tomorrow. Save water, collect rain water. It pays in the long run! Then again, there may never be a problem. Well water is a funny thing. My grandparents had a well dry up for almost 20 years. Grandpa passed, around 2 years later, just of curiosity. Had it checked, working perfectly. So we use that now for farm work and animals. I wish all well water users The best of luck and future luck! 🩷🌎🩵

Wow, that shot at 17:11 with the clouds was spectacular. I felt like I was watching the Old Faithful geyser at Yellowstone, but it was clouds in the sky. What an incredible job they did drilling the well. It is so amazing how they can dig so deep and that the hole doesn't collapse in on itself before the tubes get put down the hole. What a lot of physical labor for them too, carrying those heavy drilling pipes. Congrats on your new umbilical cord to Mother Nature.

One thing that caught my attention, why would you install the septic tank above the house? I would think the lower level where you have more room would be more ideal. And it's further away from the well instead of next to it

You really need to keep your sewer away from a water well always below the well so it doesn’t leach down into your way source from above or next to the well 👍🏻😁

WOW incredible CLOUDS in the time lapse while they were drilling. Such amazing camera and editing work. You are just doing such a great job.

Why would you put your septic tank next to your fresh water source? There's always a chance of contamination. I work at a wastewater treatment plant and we don't even drink the one water in case there's cross contamination and it comes from the city's freshwater source.

My father was a well driller in Western Montana for 50 years. He never put much value in water witching. He went more with his knowledge of the area. He would agree about the place which was best for the property. His machinery was much larger; however the drilling was roughly similar. My father and he sounded a bit difference, but had the same approach. I enjoyed the bore hole adventure.

2 steel coat hangers work great for a divining rod. It's a great way to find an underground water source or stream. I do a criss-cross pattern to locate an underground stream or waterline. It's best to do this during a drought year, so you will get the absolute best source for volume. I bend a 90° angle on each coat hanger. Leave just enough for the hand and the other length about 12 inches. When the 2 coat hangers cross, you will be above water. Start out first but going over a bowl or gallon of water and then graduate up to finding the underground waterline of an existing home.

A home I had in Idaho, the well was 421ft deep before they struck anything that was moist, another 30 feet they hit the Snake River Aquafer with enough pressure a cap and regulator were required to get it done to household pressure. Directly across the road a small subdivision was put in a few years after I had moved. They hit water at just over 200 feet. Go figure. Congrats.
