Summary
Today's podcast is about rural
wells and fixing things yourself. It's Paul talking to Fred about the prolonged adventure of repairing the well down at basecamp when it stopped functioning a few weeks ago. They were without water for 15 days, but they did get the
job done! It just took ... a whole lot longer than it seemed like it would when they started. And several
people. And several purpose made tools. I don't want to detail the story here because some of the humor comes from the surprises.
Suffice to say there were multiple surprises and the well at basecamp for
Wheaton Labs is a very special well.
