I have a problem that I'm not sure has a solution.

[Tinhack]

No spring. No water source at all that I know of.

Septic is downhill for this area. No plumbing of any kind there.

What kind of rock do you have there. If it's shale, I'm betting you have a high water table creek/spring. It doesn't matter that it's on a hill unless your hill is the highest in the area (for miles). Geology and hydraulics can work wonders. You might even have a cavern under your house!

I'd have the water tested. If it's good, use it.

If you throw enough money at it, any problem has a solution. :laughing:

Depends...

They work too....

Just because something is pseudoscience, or dwells in the mystical, magical, call it what you want, doesn稚 mean it doesn稚 exist. Science is just the 徒nown that is repeatable. No one claims we know all there is to know. There痴 still a lot of phenomena that is unknown, and as such, unrepeatable. However, we can still experience it.

There are lots of unknowns when you actually start looking. Just because it's unknown doesn't mean it's unrepeatable. I'm from Missouri, just show me.

The truth is, it's far less effort to believe something than it is to question it.

hey

He'd make you *** your pants when you realized that it worked.

I will do that. You prove to it to me and i will **** my pants, in public. If you are wrong, you do it.

I'm kidding, i would take that bet but it's not really that important, unless you are the one paying to find water!

 

[Diggin It]

Depends...

I hear that's one way to stop leaks.

How come no one can reproduce it in controlled conditions? EVER? NEVER? Not once. Ever.

Paul Harvey the news commentator. ? Gave this answer when asked about seeing UFO's why Farmers and Old country folk were seeing and not the group that would know what they were seeing.

Red rock gravel and clay. No subsurface water. They couldn't even get a well here. Had to have water trucked into a cistern for years until county water came in. Old unused cistern is not the source either as it's 16' deep and only has a couple of feet of water in it. which puts that level far below the surface.

Yes, this is the highest point by several feet for quite some distance.

I'm convinced it's just rain and other atmospheric moisture that isn't drying up due to lack of direct Sun in the shadow of the house. As I said a few posts back, the area now covered by the new shed/porch roof is already more dry than the uncovered area just a few feet away. Plan now is to raise this covered area just a couple of inches with gravel which I need anyways as a base for the concrete pad for the generator if I ever get one.

It's been proven to be no more accurate than the laws of chance.

Gee... I bet you dont believe in Santa Clause either

There's some things you just don't question.

Gee... I bet you dont believe in Santa Clause either

:rotfl: I'd rather question the unknown than rule it out all together...
