The drillers finished up on Saturday afternoon. They left the rig in place over the weekend with the 15 20-ft extension poles and the auger in the bore hole. The front of the truck was jacked up because of the hill on my front lawn. It drew some really funny looks from people driving by. It sort of looked like the truck was flying through the air especially if you could not see the single support post in the front of the truck.
I was talking to the drillers. Nice guys. Their 73,000 pound drilling rig can use about 200 gallons of diesel fuel per day. My project probably used about 300 gallons of fuel. I'll have to factor that in to the carbon dioxide equation. 300 gallons of heating oil can get me through a big chunk of a New England winter.
