I came home today after running/walking for what seemed like three miles, but I'm sure it wasn't, in very hot and humid weather, ready for a shower. Instead I found my well gushing water. I noticed water all the way down the drive. I thought to myself surely it didn't rain on just one side of the driveway, maybe we left the hose on and the water has been running all day. NOPE! Water was gushing from the well! I stopped the truck and ran over to turn the water off before inspecting things closer. I noticed a huge branch on the ground. The branch had fallen on the pipes and broke them off. I tried and tried to call Kev and he didn't answer. Of course I'm freaking out! I'm extremely sweaty and want a shower and I have no water. I called my dad and asked exactly when he is going to bring the well house up and explained to him what has happened. (Last winter we had a make shift well house and with all the rain this summer it finally collapsed. It's not been a big deal until now.)
Kev finally answered the phone and I sent him these pictures. Luckily, we have a plumber friend. He came over when he got off of work and went with Kev to the store to get the pipes and fittings needed to repair everything. He glued everything back together and we visited while we waited for the glue to dry. Afterwards, we turned the water back on and all was well.
