Fixing/Moving the Pump

The pump to water the lawns at the Property kept losing it's prime......... so we moved it closer to the wet well.  
The box had to be dug out, pipes cut and realigned, and electrical line re-routed.  In the process we discovered a leak, so that is probably why it was losing it's prime. 
Down at the south end of the Property by the wet well, is where Zac's pump in located.  So Roger D proceeded to dig another hole so we could re-locate the pump. 
They had to dig out a ways,  to find the pipe, then fish the electrical wire down the pipe.  Zac had some FISH TAPE - isn't that funny?!  Fish Tape - to fish tape...........get it?   It worked beautifully, and it was so good they didn't have to dig up the ground all the way. 
Cut apart the original box, and modify to fit the other pump.  

For now, we've just set the old box (that we tore out) lid on the extended box (holding the relocated pump)  A new lid needs to be built, and I was able to get some grey trex material that I'm hoping will work (after Zac builds me some steps to my chicken coop - hint hint).  Another idea we are throwing around, is getting an old used 8 x 12 shed, and placing it over all 3 pumps (dads, the property's and Zac's) and the wet well, and calling it a "Pump House".  But that's a project for another day.
