Very busy around here in October and November as we had to have a new well dug. The old one was around 80 years old and had some major issues. So, it was decommissioned and old pump house taken down. Then we built a new one, after rerouting all the plumbing and wiring. Not an easy job! Also had some brick repair work to do. The new pump house was built out of cedar grown locally and milled by a family member. I think it turned out great!
Pictures to follow.

Just had to have another project. New kitchen cabinets! Would have been 100 times easier if we’d just done it during the big remodel last year. 🤨
Oh well… it’s done now and looks so good🤗
