Sand Point Well?

[retrieverman]

Can't believe nobody has mentioned finding a good water dowser yet???? All the ones I know that were legit, could not only find it, but could tell you how deep and about what kind of flow even are dead and gone. I know one guy left who can find it but that's it.

The one I knew died in April.

I do pretty good with a rain catchment system. Build something with a modest roof. I have 5-50 gallon barrels catching water. A very small rain will fill them all. Use the water for everything except drinking.View attachment 389953

A barrel like that could be hauled out there many times for less than a $1000.

When I was building in the mid 80's a typical well in the Mustang area was about 2k. What happened?

I mean have you seen the prices of goods, healthcare, insurance and wages?

Yes he was the last one I've seen do it in person.

thought I'd ckeck my records. My new 160’ well here in OK county in 2005 was turnkey ....drilling, pump, pressure tank was $3700. In 2016 I had one drilled at my Okfuskee county property.....160' with pump only was $4200.

A good driller doesn’t need a water witch.

Currently no, back when electromagnetic imaging and hydrologist's maps and reports didn't exist, they did lol.

Yeah I was thinking that not too long ago that $5000 would usually cover the costs of a well.

Those prices quoted up stream are crazy!

That’s what I thought too. So I looked up my check receipts for the ones I had done. That’s how folks price stuff that they really don’t want to do.

Have to be careful tho. Friend of mine was raising dogs that were a little hard to come by. Selling the puppies in the $5k neighborhood. Someone wanted to buy his breeding female. Not for sale, he said. But if you did how much? He said $25K. They bought it. More money than sense.

Some drillers can’t get their sh*t right even when a water witch tells them exactly what to do. I’ve got a capped well on my place, because the driller thought he was smarter than the witcher. He wasn’t.
