We have water!
I could say it went well but that would be wrong. Pulling the old pump went well. Purchasing all the equipment and parts went well. Hooking up the new pump went well. And then...... nothing. Not a hum. When they hooked up the new pump they crossed the wires and blew the control box so I had to run back into town for a new one. Once it was hooked up properly - all went well. Today will be spent filling the hole and cleaning up the mess. However, I CAN CLEAN AND DO LAUNDRY!!! I never thought I'd ever be so grateful to hear the sound of running water and a toilet flushing. When you have to walk outside to haul buckets of water in so you can partially flush your toilet -- you really gain an appreciation for indoor pumbling! Truthfully, I'd rather be without electricity any day that to be without water.

Well I guess by now the tumble dryer has been beating a sound of the freshly laudered clothes going round and round and you are busy using water here and there.
I have been reading your posts but have been busy so this is the first chance I have had to say hello again and to wish you well today.

I totally agree!!
We have a well and when our hydro goes, which it does often,of course there is no water so my husband bought a bigger generator which will run the well pump. The hydro hasn't gone since he bought it so we haven't been able to test it. That's typical!!
The only problem is that when our hydro does go, the heating cables that keep our water lines from feezing go too so he'll have to figure out a way to hook them up to the generator as well!!
It's -28 farenheight this morning so we need those heated cables!
