Well... done?

Actually the well isn't done just yet. I started working on repairing the cement roof of the enclosed space that contains our well (pump, bladder and pipe). The cement roof had almost completely chipped off the top layer.

I spent most of today and part of yesterday evening doing the demolition by hand. I didn't want to risk the pump or bladder being damaged by an errant jackhammer or stray skid steer.

I was expecting to find some re-bar in the cement, to my surprise there was a heavy duty wire mesh embedded instead.

I had planned on Jeremy helping me mix and pour the concrete this afternoon. Unfortunately I wasn't ready yet, I think it turned out to be a good thing though since we had clouds roll in.
