You do see some strange redneck things in northern Michigan...
I have this galv. pipe coming out of the ground at the corner of my cottage. The pvc pipe next to it is from the kitchen sink and drops down & over about 30 feet to the septic. Just on the other side of that wall is another galv. pipe that comes up thru the slab under the counter. It has a cap on top. I dropped a weighted string down that one and it appears to be the original well--which had to be abandoned when the septic went it.
Who wants to take a guess what the outside metal pipe might be? How can I find out? The bathroom piping is also galv. so it's my guess the sink line is newer and that short pipe may have frozen and cracked at some point so was abandoned--but why leave it visible?
