Homemade Drill
Bryson is back at it again. This time, he found a drill that has a better chance of breaking up the hard ground at the bottom of the well. Watch him build a homemade percussion drill and test out three different ways to use it.

Checking Levels
The static water level was 122 feet at the end of the monsoon season in 2013. Towards the end of the monsoon in 2014, even though the depth of the well increased by 3 feet, the water level dropped 7 feet. We appear to be moving backwards but we get some surprising results. Watch the Conclusion.

We moved from the city to the country in 2005. Since then, we have been building structures, raising livestock and growing some of our own foods. We are crazy about family, nutrition and want the best for our growing family.
