Nice to meet you G cool name. I am always learning here…recently as in two years ago I put in a tankless water heater. i love it because the water never turns cold as with the old 80 gallon electric tank but my water bill has gone up significantly.

Nice, the well drillers I know make some serious coin. How many years into drilling did you have to do to get your first Rolex? Plan on retiring soon?

29 years at 46 LOL my body will force me at 55ish. Well Drilling requires a tremendous amount of skill and physicality and if it doesn’t work i don't get paid.

Sounds very interesting to me

You know, we here, behind the Iron Curtain, as conscripts, thought that the principle of the Hungarian subsidiary of the Soviet “Red Army” was that there was no warm water every day, only a few days a week. We thought you lived in luxury compared to us :)

But luckily that was a long time ago! And as a matter of fact, unlike you, apart from the sauna, I haven't taken a cold shower since then

In my 70s, I have realised that the biggest challenge in life is being able to recognise and really appreciate the good things one has. Here in the West there are so many things that we take for granted. Running water, electricity and sewerage are at the top of my list, but when I watch the evening news I realise that many people in the World would just be happy to not be murdered indiscriminately by tyrants.

Awesome. Much respect.

A good well service company is worth whatever they charge.
