Now that you’ve dug a well, and know the costs and trouble with it, would you prefer to buy land with an existing well, and spend a bit more for the land, or is drilling the well yourself worth the time and money?...and why, of course.

Do you plan on going old school and putting a hand pump outside? Can you still use your well now even though your house isn't built yet?

I’m just so happy you hit water at a level close to what you were expecting. The best surprise is no surprise. 😎

Woof... that must have been expensive! No wonder you didnt want to drill one before you picked out your building site. Can ask how much you have into the property so far? Land cost, solar array, cland clearing, permits, well... and how much you have budgeted for your house? Are you getting a building loan or did you save cash?

The well is going to be the primary source of your water needs. Are you considering an above ground secondary water storage for on demand water or are you going to tap directly from the well?

Will you be having the water tested? What’s the water plan? Will you be pumping to a tank and from tank to house? Will you have a large storage tank as part of any fire fighting or emergency plan?

How many chickens deep is your well? I’m pretty sure that’s the official unit of measurement for wells...

How do you maintain a well, do you have to get the water tested monthly?

Not about the well for your home. I’m happy that you hit water and can start the build. My question is will you keep the old well for backup, or for the animals and gardens

Have you considered a cistern to gravity feed the house with the well as the water source ??? ... Will you be using a freeze proof hydrant as outside water ???
