[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3992644, member: 7900"] When I was growing up, even our small town had a water system where pretty much everyone had access to indoor plumbing. That was in the late '40's to the mid '60's. Then, while working for my father-in-law in the late '70's, we had a windmill up on land near the Cimarron River. That well had been hand dug and was roughly 2 1/2 to 3 feet wide in the casing, and because it was close to the river where it was sandy, it occasionally needed to be cleaned out around the "inlet" of the pump. Because of my small size (at that time), I was the one selected to climb down into that hole to dig out sand and pass it up. Good thing that I've never suffered from claustrophobia. Oh, and that water was dang cold. [/QUOTE]
