After a week+ with our well out of commission we once again have well water. The culprit was our well pump, which had lost its bearing. Reassembly of the well pump took an extra day as our pump is a 3HP 40GPM pump, which took extra time to find. I also learned our that our water table appears to start about 6′ below the surface and our well is sits at about 110′.

I am not all that familiar with well-setups, but the “George’s”, our well guys were both named George, were impressed, with one telling me that he now wants to set up his well water system with a cistern and secondary pump so he can keep the water pressure high (when the irrigation is running our water pressure is still strong for showers, etc).

Meanwhile, I got more wiring done on the FC. I also built the bracket to hold the e-brake line and the fuel pump, which is now mounted closer to the tank.

Finally, I snagged a few new brochures off eBay, so I will share those in the next week or so. I should have some updates Friday morning.
