Was asked to check on tanks cause the horses stopped drinking after heaters were added. If you see your horse doing this, after adding a heater, you might need a new one, or an electrician to check things are good. Some of these heaters leak. It doesn't take much. Remember the heaters cycle on and off.... You may not feel it if you touch the water.

Always good to do the safety awareness.

Talking to some folks at the safety program , I found out some of the large (6",10"etc) 800psi+ pipelines are not very deep. Some in places only 1 foot.

Remember 811 call before you dig.

Westernaires day! Taking the last of the big items collected their new home. This run took a while. Had to dolly the fridges up a dirt hill, take the wheels off to get in the door. There were about 6 people helping all in all. Took about 2 hours to get them moved and into their new home!

Donations to cover fuel are welcome & tax deductible! Paypal is [email protected]

Overall it was a PERFECT day to do this. the weather was excellent!

OH OH!!!!! NO WATER... and THE SNOW IS ALMOST HERE!!!

Hard to support animals without water...

Off to Journey with Equus to fix a water line.

I've added a run down below, but the short story is.. its fixed.... we beat the weather!!! The pipe from the well, and the pipe to the pressure tank, had a huge difference in them, and since it wasn't installed right, we were all amazed it lasted as long as it did. Continue reading if you want to know more. 🙂

Wonder what it is like?
Well. first you call 811 dig.
This becomes fun when the address doesn't exist in the database.
While the 811 team marks the area, then unload the gear.
Once they are done. Begin... However it is hard to do much when you throw a track just starting off. Once thats fixed.
Start digging.
the machine rebells and throws a track.
Took about an hour to dig down and find the pipe.
Don't forget the spotters!!!!
Gotta have the spotters, don't want to make the issue worse!
Once the line was found, turned on the water for a moment to see what the next step was.
The line wound up being 1 -1/4 inch which is a bit different from what is seen. But to make it even more interesting there was a rubber drain boot on the line... The kind used for showers etc. That was a total surprise.
Since it was night fall, to get the water back on, it was replace with what was there.
the following day, time to repair it correctly so it can be covered up with the snow headed our way.
A compression fitting would have probably worked, but with the angle and force on the pipes, figured that might have us digging this back up, so wanted to get a piece of flex pipe in there.. but 1-1/4 inch PVC is about all thats at the box store, and needed poly to provide some flexibility with the proper ends, and with the weather headed in.....
Worked with a well crew to get the right parts...(1-1/4 poly and brass fittings (remember dis-similar metas don't like each other).
Took about 90 minutes to get it all correctly done.
