The old hand crank pump that DH's Grandfather used to water his herd of goats and some field crops. I believe he used dynamite to reach the water.
This was the first thing I did when I saw the well. I made DH who was my boyfriend then, go buy the materials and cover the well, which had no cover and was open. Who knows what drowned in there. I sure would feel bad if it was someone's kid (2 or 4 legged!).
Gosh this place was run down when DH inherited it.
It used to work, but I need to find a rubber thing (gasket?), so it will create the suction needed to pull the water up.
