Drilling for water day 3
Posted By Wes Cowley on September 30, 2009
A lot of drilling today but no water yet. The crew got down to 100 feet, then had a problem with the rig. After the problem was resolved (something to do with compression I believe,) they resumed drilling, using some mud to facilitate matters. Grown men like to play in mud too.
They eventually reached 130 feet, but the mud was too thin, so they pulled back. The area they were drilling through was soft, so the last 30 feet or so collapsed back on itself. They will have to make up some work tomorrow after mixing better mud. Mud was blowing out of the hole as they pulled the pipe out, and we had several interested spectators. Here is one:
The shields on the front of the templo are finished, and here they are:
More tomorrow,
