DIY Water Well Drilling | Off Grid Cabin Build #27

In this episode of our off grid cabin build series, we are starting our own DIY water well drilling project. Our friend has his own well drilling rig to drill our shallow well. We will only drill down 18 feet and hopefully hit water.

NEW HERE?
Thanks for stopping by our off grid cabin build channel. We recently moved from the city with all of its conveniences to the middle of the forest near Sandpoint, Idaho. On our channel, we are sharing our journey from grid life to an off-grid homesteading life. We are starting from scratch on bare land. I hope you will come and join us on this journey as we build our off grid cabin and establish our homestead. You can learn more about our story here (link to video)

Thank you for watching our video and reading the description. You rock!

Hope you have a really great day and keepsm:)ling!

That’s pretty cool. I dug an 8 ‘ hole with the hand auger then lined it with a 6’ pipe. I used water pressure to shoot down a smaller pvc inside down to 27’. Worked great. With the pond right there you could jet one down pretty deep. There are plenty of videos showing what I’m talking about.

Weh! Thanks all of you for sharing this video! I have always been fascinated with whel drilling and not wasting money when you can do these jobs yourself. Awesome work!!!

Great video. That was amazing to watch it drop down like that. I kinda thought it could've easily gotten caught on rough ground on the side etc.. but it just dropped in like it was going thru hot butter. How awesome.

End cap, filtration sock, one foot of well gravel at the base from 19' to 18'), well gravel up to one foot above the top of the inlet cuts, bentonite the well to grade, and add a concrete domed cap at surface level. You first bore hole is crossing to the new well. You use HP air to condition the well, it takes forever to pump out the mud and it clogs the inlet cuts but you had some major fun. (Good idea of square drive with pins, the water inlet is not as easy to engineer. Bob in Nevada

Good job
Next time use a few bags of pea gravel first ...then backfill.
It will help stop sand particles from entering well screen.
Again, great teamwork and job!

[loebas]

did you consider a filtering system on the outside of those slits/ the pvc pipe? like how they do with drainage pipes

[ChileExpatFamily]

You are making me appreciate that we are using a Spring. Good luck. Jim
