5. So how'd I do?

Found brass at Home Depot. Couldn't find well line hose and brass bibs and connection to SCH40. I called 2 local plumber/well guys, but they're not answering their phone. So, DIY was the only game in town. Used vise pliers, no lock to tighten. Not a problem.

Connection is about 1 degree off 90. Oh well, That was fine last time, it was the male into brass that broke. This time I raised the pipe to match height, and added SS clamp over female PVC for strength. Will pack with mud underneath for support, and old time trick: make a vertical box all the way to the surface and pack with sand. No downward pressure that way.

3 weeks!

Thanks for your help!
