Water Well Drilling in the Ozark Mountains
We are drilling a water well for a customer on a beautiful ranch in the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas. JFS well service is way behind on drilling and I am trying to help him get caught up before winter sets in on us.

    I keep asking myself why so many people confuse a cast iron pot/stock pot with a Dutch oven?? A classic Dutch oven almost always has feet, a concave lid with a raised outer edge...! Why? To use it outdoors as an OVEN and not just as a cooking pot with a funny lid, certain recipes required "top heat" only centuries ago, and that's where the special lid comes in, which, due to its shape alone, prevents firewood/coal from falling or slipping. Second function of the lid... it serves as a fireproof base when you cook food in an environment that could catch fire (risk of forest fires)

    Equal parts? Sand, Portland cement and lime. Mix dry… then add water ‘as needed’ a little at a time. Cookie dough consistency. Not too wet to avoid shrinking and cracking. I just bought a place with un chinked log walls I need to finish. The sellers put styrofoam spray in between… I’ll need to scrape it down… looks like others have put nails along the lower log run… vs using the grate to help hold in the chinking mud. If anyone knows anything, I’d love your two cents!

    Thanks for the video. I have an 1800s log cabin on my property that I’m trying to gain the courage to jump into restoration. Currently I have the chink knocked out of one wall, but replacing the windows is something I’m totally unfamiliar with in a modern home, much less an old cabin.

    Hmmm - attach a motor at the top with an offside weight to cause it to vibrate vigorously while you dump the load. And do the expanded metal run it 90 degree from the current set up. The longer the holes the better the chance is for dirt to drop through. Good job!
