Aug 10 at field Sep 14 Oct 12 Nov ?? Dec 1 Field improvement update Well has been drilled. In fact, there should be 3 holes drilled at 3' wide and about 12' deep. We have water at 7' below ground, hence the driller could not go deeper. Jack will work on getting a liner installed so well does not cave in by dirt. Jack needs help from us to move the dirt and gravel piles to the parking lot and spread it around? Jack also has a gasoline pump and some 2" pipes there for us to use. We need to put some fittings on the pump and test it to see how much flow we can get at 12'. Jack will then have the guy drill deeper if needed. Rod sprayed more weed killer and fertilized the runway. East side of runway mowed down as well as all trees removed in that area. Well hole has been drilled, discussed about having it dug deeper for better constant flow. Mowing day I believe will be Tuesdays until the grass starts growing faster in spring, which may change to later in the week.
