Having struck water, we then had to line the 11 metre dirt walls with concrete tubes. We made a form using thin plywood and reinforcing rods wired together.
We made one tube every day, so it took a while to amass the sixteen tubes required.
The tubes were lowered one by one using strong rope and even stronger men!
Ed adds his weight to ensure their are no gaps between the tubes.
A wall of river stone is built to support the tubes above ground.
And the finishing touches are applied. Later on we will build a small pump house to contain the well and keep the pump secure. But there is the pressing need to get on with the house build as we are now in the rainy season.
