In time metal casing WILL get a hole in it. 20 years, not to bad. 30 years, getting there. That pump is a long way down to do it without a hoist. If he can do it good. Ever see what a guy looks like when the chain broke from pulling a pump with a back hoe??? Either have I, it was a closed casket funeral.
He and you and I have no evidence that there is a hole in the casing.
Thirty years or 40 years, he asked if WE thought he might get another 10 years out of it.
He might, he might not but, you seem to be running on estrogen and fear that he can't. Me, it's testosterone, and I say what the hell, you'll never know unless you give it good whack and pay attention to later results.
BTW, before someone gets her thong twisted, that male thing, it's what has allowed mankind to survive for however long you think men and women have been walking upright, and it allows you to be communicating in English and living your present lifestyle. And if he hurts himself, he will never do it again, as they say in Loosyanna (sic), it's gar un teed.
Frankly, us guys that git'er done, we learn most from our failures, and if we're really open minded, the failures of others. To do that we can't run around scared, or crying over what MIGHT happen... Do ya know that statistically, what we fear the most, usually never happens? And the only thing to fear, is fear itself! It actually stops millions of people from many things that would help them and imporve their lives and the lives of others around them.
Anyway, a long way down! Woman it's only 252'!
See there's more of that female estrogen caused fear stuff.... long way or short way, a lb is still 16 ounces. Yet with a hole in the drop pipe, that lets water out of the pipe lightening the load at the rate of 8.47 lbs, is it? per gallon. And we all seem to expect the hole to be at the "rough spot" at 190'. I suspect you didn't think of that. I did like two days ago.
Yeah I've worked with my fair share of chains, as an electric company ground hand and lineman for a few yrs in the construction department working 10 hr days and really, lotsa chains here, as an owner operator of 4 tractor trailers for like 10 yrs hauling all shapes of steel, aluminum and pipe of all sizes on flatbed trailers. Then I got smart and went to hauling overseas shipping containers put on and taken off with overhead cranes, and THEN, along came smarter, and I went to hauling food stuff in food grade tankers (they pumped it in or let it run in and I pumped it out, or just left it run out), that's why if I were doing the instructing here, I would suggest strap, and an inexpensive pipe vice.
psssstt, for a nurse, attorney and very expensively successful 10 yr well driller wife of a well driller, this highscrool grad thinks that's "too bad" and "Neither" have I.
I just saw the latest posts...
As I have shown above, no doubt about it, you are slanted toward most everyone with any problem in the well, drilling a new well.
Sammy, come on man, you're a licensed driller'n all that, instead of fighting by stirring the pot, contribute some of your knowledge, do you think Mudfire should drill a new well or replace the drop pipe, and why?
BTW, I'm replying to someone that directly replied to something I said. Is that what you meant by how and who causes problems?
