Through the Back Door! by Jim Kuebelbeck From my daily notes . . . Had a job this morning locating a water supply for someone who wanted to get off of a city water supply for watering his lawn. It was costing him $500 every two months! I think we did find him one good possibility, which was the only choice on the small city lot. This afternoon, we had another job for someone who was in the final stages of constructing a huge chicken “broiler barn”. It must have been at least 300 feet in length and 60 feet wide. They had already drilled three dry holes fairly close to the building site, and the drilling contractor had told him to call us. When we got to the site, we could see two of the dry holes were drilled within 12 feet of each other! I knew immediately some other (probably less expensive) dowser or dowsers must have preceded us, or the crew wouldn’t have drilled right next to a dry hole. Already knowing the answer, I asked why they had drilled so close to a dry hole, and the guy mumbled something about “he wasn’t sure”. Rather than pursue further conversation which might be uncomfortable for the both of us, I simply told him I would try to see what I could find. I first worked around the previous dry holes, and then told the landowner I didn’t find what I was looking for on those sites. (Not quite rocket science, right?) I did eventually locate two good possibilities about two or three hundred feet away from the new building. They'll be drilling again tomorrow.
