Hey

I am playing with the idea of digging a well. I would use a driving point and a jackhammer - like those youtube clips.

anyone here tried this?

Better yet - tried this in NY? Catskills area?

Talk to your neighbors or a well digger and KNOW where your water table is before you start. I've got 400$ underground 40' shy of the water table due to this. I relied on the usgs website for local well depths.

My try is somewhat documented here. Good advise from everyone
