Not so much happened these last couple of days. They finished drilling the well.

Unfortunately it sounds like it is only getting 1 gallon a minute despite being reasonably deep (500 ft) so we’re getting it hydrofracked. (Not quite the same thing as the hydrofracking that the folks drilling for natural gas in upstate NY are doing. And hopefully without as many nasty chemicals since this most definitely is my drinking water.)
The driveway is mostly graded.

And today they hooked up the well to the house.

This seems to be a good overview of what they do: http://www.goclearwater.com/hydrofacturing.php
Good luck on your well. My parents had to drill over 300 feet for theirs, which did not make the construction budget happy, I think.
