I need a reciprocating saw. I have a package of Dewalt blades, but no saw. Dad had a huge saw (not Dewalt) but it looks like the cord got in the way & is majorly chewed up! Regardless, it’s too big & heavy for me. If mom is over the shock of buying me a chainsaw, maybe I can talk her into a reciprocating saw .... I need it for one of HER projects.

How is the well issue coming along?

“How is the well issue coming along?”

Beau has it narrowed down to it being a PRESSURE TANK issue, and NOT the well, itself. Seems that the pressure tank isn’t telling the well pump to stop pumping when it hits pressure. We have had fine water pressure, so that didn’t even occur to us.

The sound we were hearing in the basement and the first floor bathroom was the well pump running and running and running!

So, he’s getting us a 50/60 gauge today at Farm & Fleet after he finishes helping the neighbor with a fencing issue.

IF he’s correct, the problem should be solved by this evening. Yay!

I got a LOT done after supper last night when he turned the water back on for me. I told him that running water is really a motivator for me now, so maybe we should just leave it off all day? LOL! Yeah - that’ll work with all the animals to water and as we go into High Garden Season!

Also - we need to have water running and available to the Heifers in the pasture and ‘The Girls’ will be showing up any day now. We’ll add Steer ‘Stewart’ to the mix, then he’s out of my hair for the summer, but I will miss his sloppy kisses! ;)
