Ok I figure between everyone who posts here just about every crappy job in the world has been done.
Well have I got a crappy one.
The big pipe is my well casing and there is a buried water line that runs from it to my house. The hose bib you see T's off the main line. Some time this winter the bib froze and with the latest thaw has started leaking which kills my water pressure and keeps my pump running 24-7. Water pressure is so low I can only get water in the basement or I would just wait until the frost leaves to dig it up.
A backhoe won't touch this ground right now. I'm going to try using a post hole auger then heating with a weed burner.
Any thoughts or ideas - I'll need to get down 4-6 feet.
