Y...Heck Mark, I like the way you think out loud. :)<br />Your plan definately sounds doable. I'm sure it would work great! My house well has a submersible pump, it used to be powered by a windmill that also supplied the electricity for the farm. I still have the cistern and the battery house. I think it would be great to convert back to wind or go with solar power.<br />A lot of the ranchers cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516076315691432589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516940939413771830.post-15512863038485573332011-12-17T19:27:44.361-06:002011-12-17T19:27:44.361-06:00Hi Neanderthal!

I agree with you, whoever did it must not care much about anything. <br />I am partial to the wind powered windmills. I guess I like the looks of them. :)<br />The drilling has picked up around here in the last couple of years. I see quite a few rigs scattered across the land. <br />Also a few work over rigs too trying to cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516076315691432589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516940939413771830.post-592013835939491512011-12-17T19:09:30.980-06:002011-12-17T19:09:30.980-06:00Jazzcat how in the heck have you been? :) It's...Jazzcat how in the heck have you been? :) It's good to see ya.<br />I hope you have a great Christmas and New Year too..

Wish I was a little closer to ya, I would love to help you out on this one. My well on the acerage is kinda the same setup as yours I think, but only instead of a windmill powering it, it has a hand pump.

I love solar technology but wind powered water wells are eloquent. Someone shotgunned the vanes on the windmill at my grandparent's old place. I wonder if the guy who did it ever cared about anything in his life.<br /><br />How much natural gas drilling are they doing in your area?<br /><br />Glad you neanderthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10677876948997466131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516940939413771830.post-32570466618092550202011-12-17T01:06:20.991-06:002011-12-17T01:06:20.991-06:00Jeanie, hope your Christmas Holiday is everything ...Jeanie, hope your Christmas Holiday is everything you want AND need to be!<br />God bless you girl!JazzCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386993254750162799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516940939413771830.post-32152681967611962792011-12-16T22:25:58.303-06:002011-12-16T22:25:58.303-06:00Rick... it is kind of fun isn't it. :) That...Rick... it is kind of fun isn't it. :) That's not my barn, it's one at the sale barn. <br />The windmill is back and running now... the windmill man replaced the leathers, a section of rod, a few other things and checked the head. It should be good for the winter (I hope).<br />This is just for the livestock in the pasture.
