Well driller arrives

It was another productive day out here today. Dale, Rina, and I worked for most of the day on layout, and by the end of the day we had all of the pier spots marked. This was quite time consuming since there are 22 of them which meant many intersecting lines. 30 to be precise. It was quite a process as we had to make a square that was 30x30 and then start staking out the lines at various intervals so that the piers would fall in line with each other as well as in the right places to make a circle. It's been a lot of fun to put some of the theories I have read about into practice, and it has gone quite smoothly with the help of Rina, and Dale. The day was overcast again, but there were only a few sprinkles though there was a fair amount of rain overnight which made for some mud.
Things were moving along quite well this afternoon, and we got to the point where we needed to mark where the water line would come up through the floor. This requires a trench from the well to a point relatively near the center of the yurt. This trench of course cannot run through any of the points where piers need to go so I was thinking I needed to get in touch with the well driller. Just as I was heading for the car to get his phone number off in the distance came a rumble which sounded like it could be a big truck. Indeed it was and the well driller and his assistant arrived later in the afternoon. Yeah! He had a bit of trouble getting turned around and then getting into position because of the mud. He made it though and got the drilling rig set up so he'll be able to get to it right away on monday. I'm waiting to find out whether his excavator will be able to do the work either monday or tuesday, and if not I will be learning how to run an excavator myself so that things can stay on schedule.
Well see what can happen over the weekend, but it will not be as hectic for the next couple of days. So far, so good.
