Pump

Today's picture concerns my well pump. As you can see, it's not in very good condition. Neither was the pump-house that surrounded it - which I've torn down.

Thankfully this was not used to put water into the house, but to run the sprinkler system. The sprinklers never worked, and I tore them and the pipes out last year when I roto-tilled the yard.

I found a date on the holding tank that read 06-02-1942. Very impressive system for being 65 years old.

I'm a sucker for old machines. They tend to be better built, last longer, and have "character".

Sadly, this machine's time is up. Now to figure out how to get it out of the ground, and bust up the concrete pad it's on. Anyone got any C-4?
