Yann went well diving today to help our friend Jean-Bernard and Nathalie clean their old well and to see if the natural source was still working.

Of course, Yann had us in stitches as he was clowning around with this ridiculous mask.

Instead of well diving and hauling buckets of silt, I thought about chilling out in the garden.

Suiting up to go down into the well.

Our friend took a turn going deep.

The well was several yards deep before reaching water. Yann had a light and could see that the water wasn't deep. They removed several buckets of silt and several more of rocks and stuff.

    What a job! How often does it need to be done?
    This is all new to me, because I’ve always lived where there was good-tasting city water, and one of my sets of grandparents in the NorCal wilderness got theirs from a spring-fed tank.

    Holy cow! That looks very dangerous…and terrifying.

  3. Once again your giving hearts overflow with help for those in need. Lucky are those who have the two of you for friends.

    Which town was this well in?

  5. Such a funny post! So the well produces water now??

  6. What a guy! Jack of all trades!

  7. I have a well that supplies my home. The only maintenance is replacing the pump after 20 years of use. I can now say I know what well maintenance means prior to modern day wells. Bravo Yann for helping to fix the well! Sounds like entering a cave then water. I’d be sitting at that lovely garden table with Corey.
