To avoid the hosepipe ban reinstate your 70ft-deep garden well that’s been capped with 24” of steel reinforced concrete since 1962:
1. Remove cap with Landrover winch and large hammer.
2. Expose well that thankfully wasn’t filled with builder’s rubble when first cottage extensions built.

3. Excavate around the top 3 remaining bricks to permit flooding with concrete prior to building the upper well surround with integral seat etc. in an non-twee thatched roof and winch for a bucket/pail manner!


More to follow when my back has recovered!
