How deeps your hole!
Discussion
Working at a client's house today fitting a new ridge on a lean to over a well. Casually asked the client how deep the well is just through curiosity. 120 feet she says 
, wish I hadn't asked. Only had a flimsy mesh over it with 2 inch holes in.
Has anyone got a deeper hole on their property?

I’m not helping myself here...
120 feet! I'm amazed they ever bothered digging it.
We have a well in our boot room which has a cast concrete slab over it, I plan to expose the well in the spring but I hope to Christ it isn't 120ft deep!
At one of my previous houses we had a well that was also covered over, when I exposed it we measured it at 30ft deep. However - years later we discovered that it had been covered over due to the previous owner's Great Uncle committing suicide down it in the 1930's. Grim.

What an awful way to kill yourself, what if you didn't die on impact and instead bled out or starved, dehydrated alone in the dark in agony. Hope to hell his corpse wasn't left there all that time, creepy.
It's sad but that's what happens when you listen to Chris Evans on Radio 2.Gassing Station | Homes, Gardens and DIY | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
