As far as I know, there is presently no hook up to the house from this well. It looks like that used to be the case as it appears there is some sort of prefilter down there under the water with pipes running back out of the wall of the well to somewhere. I can see the feed pipe that comes from the guttering system just below the surface of the water. My plans are to dedicate this water to an automatic watering system in the outside garden, and a switch/pump system to bring some of that water to the grow room upstairs, even if just at a slow rate.
Just the doggie and two girls here, but I do worry about my older brother who will hang around a lot... it would be just like him to fall in there.View media item 1781295Do me a pleasure and seal it up well
For your children grand maybe
Even for your doggie
Life is good in the country is true! I believe you have a personal paradise going there. Keep doing that. It'll be fun watching you build your new space! Best to you and your lucky other getting it the way you want!I will get it tested soon... no time for anything not essential right now as we continue the move in. I am going to talk to my plumbing/HVAC genius in the next week or so, and we need to get his recommendations on how to get that well water up to the grow room. Ms J. has firmly stated that a hose will not be going up to the window, even in the backyard.
Regarding the MEGA, it is going to get top billing in the grow room upstairs. The bloom room alone will be 14'x9', with the mega hanging right there in the middle. I am preparing for the day when I am the caretaker of two other med patients and can grow up to 18 plants at a time. My 6x COB array is the perfect size to power one of the alcoves in that upstairs room, and I will block it off with 6mil black plastic so that it's light will not interfere. Using clear 6 mil plastic, I am going to design a sort of clean room, so the bloom room will be fully visible upon walking upstairs, but it will be in its own environment behind the plastic. Reflective mylar will be put up on the walls in those areas, and for now I plan on using the tent liner from my 4x4 tent to actually hold the containers on the floor, so that any water spills won't end up downstairs in my living room. I plan on documenting the building of this grow space with pictures here on this journal.
We have two 40' Catalpa trees, one at each the front and back doors. I caught them blooming as I was doing my inspection of the property a month ago... I can't wait to see it again.
This week it is all about Solar. The guys will be crawling all about soon, working to make us energy independent and totally unafraid to run whatever lights and however many of them I want to and without the government being able to even see my energy usage.
My other big project is getting a ham radio tower back on the air. I have gotten my old tower taken down and I sold it... I am going for bigger and better this time. I want at least a 50' crank up tower, that I can raise and lower as I need to add/remove/adjust antennas. This will call for big bucks, a large crew and about 7 yards of concrete. It might be next spring before I get this going. For now I will make do with temporary antennas, but my big signal on the ham radio computer networks is gone for now.
Luckily, the town I now live in has no restrictions for any of these activities and no permits are required. Life is good out in the country.
Now you fixed me, but good. She wants a fire pit... said wishing wells were for the lipstick crowd. Egads. I wear lipstick, of various shades. Do you see what I have to put up with, on a daily basis around this joint? lol I'm still going to frame in the pump housing and block off the hole somehow for now. Where is my skill saw anyway?Hey Emilya
Not sure if your building a wishing well because you actually like it, or if it's out of necessity?
BUT if you really want to "cover up" that hole in the ground safely while still being able to use it.
You could do something like this photo and basically run the water plumbing under the patio. Build a separate "topper" to place over the hole, (so you still have access when necessary) because its removable and its actually a propane firepit the rest of the time.
Just some crazy ideas lol
Watching this thread and interested on how Geoflora performs cause i want a couple bags of Veg and Flow for Christmas... its on my wish list lol..
@Mr. Krip is also presently doing a grow using this product... look him up too! We are going to have a Geoflora Organic grow party! I hope Santa is good to you this year!
Santa usually stocks me up with some good Booze... He'll be surprised when he sees I'm switching my order to plant Nutes lol..
sweet! .. @Mr. Krip has been hitting some of my threads so it's only fair I visit his and return the favor.
Everyone needs a skillsaw.. its mandatory lol
That's what my Dad said... he had a long list.
essential must haves Skillsaw and Power drill... I still use corded tools and extension cords .. calling myself a renaissance man..
A skill saw is a make or brand. The proper term is circular saw. I though it was a Canadian thing calling them a skill saw but I guess not.
" The proper term is circular saw."Don't mean to be nit picking but can't help it. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine When tools aren't called by their proper names. I correct my wife all the time she will say something like can you get me a star screwdriver for the screwnail
