Afternoon meat Muppets.
Spent most of the day getting the water back on for the boy.
Pressure switch line froze, then the stupid pump lost prime.
I hate jet pumps.
Thinking he will have to upgrade to a submergible soon. I hope so...

My last house had a jet pump and cistern tank. Cistern was gravity fed by a spring 6 miles up on the side of the mountain.

It was probably state of the art in 1947. But in 2004 not so much.

It worked fine if you used lots of water and kept it flowing. I did not use enough water thou, and the line would fill up/plug up with silt, and water would stop flowing. Seems like I had to back flush the system a few times a month to keep the water flowing, or if I would forget to, then the cistern was empty. It always seemed to run out at the worst time, all soapy in the shower ready to rinse off, boom out of water.

Then is was load the poly 500 gallon tank in the truck, head to town to fill it. Drain the water in the cistern tank, prime the pump, back flush the system, drive up on the side of the mountain on a goat path, wait for the water to flow clear, head back down the hill reverse everything, and hope you had clear water flowing back down the hill into the tank.

It was kinda of PITA. I burned up 3 jet pumps in 10 years.

That's right, you tell 'em Jason. Anyone wanting to move to the South, should just bypass TN and head straight to GA. Much better there.

You should have moved somewhere with less people lol

Morning boys. Forecasters predicted winds around 55 and potentially 2” of rain.
They got the windy portion right. Don’t know about the rain. Was 51 degrees yesterday. Hopefully it helps the rest of ya warm up.

Good morning gang, 7 here now and supposed to hit 23 later with 10-20 mph winds out of the south. Plan to cut as much timber as I can today before everything turns to mush later this week. The guessers say highs in the upper 30’s and 40’s coming... not good for me. I need this ground to stay frozen.

Good morning. Looks like it'll break over the freezing point today @ 35° - yes @dall I verified this . As soon as I can pry myself out of this chair I'm heading back out to cut and split 4 large black cherry trees I'm preparing for my dads wood stash for next year.

Good day all.

How did you know I finally got to sleep in? Then I jumped up and went right to taking care of the animals, who were yelling at me that I was late. Lol. No really, they were!

I live on the outskirts of heaven on earth, right where I want to be. Just don't tell Jason, remember, Georgia is better!

Good morning all, letting the stove go out as we are back to temps the heat pump can handle. Save the wood for emergencies. Got some put up yesterday, for "next winter @dall ", might do some more today. Little slick out there, just might collect my cuttings.
