This is permie gold. Nearly 200 pages of how-to with easy to read instructions on everything you need to know, every step of the way, with drawings. Enjoy.

Gold indeed! It looks like everything you need to know about siting and building a well. Thank you Ethan.
I must see if it will help me with reinstating our spring.....

What a great thing to find and share! Thank you!  I just downloaded it and gave it a peek; not sure if I will actually do it but I'll be reading it for fun, to start.

See, this is the problem with me in social situations. A couple people start talking about books they've read and when they ask me what I like to read.... uh.... "Well, I recently got excited to stumble upon the Peace Corp book on how to dig wells in rural areas. " ..."hmm... so no James Patterson,..." "As for fiction I've read a lot of the Little House Books but not in order-- uh... I'm going to get another drink, want anything?"

Oooh! For the Permie Eco-Scale, we could add what kinds of things people read!

My current interest is to observe & get to know my new land, and plan on how it can support me for the rest of my life!
