Anthony,

Just a note of caution on the DSL. You might want to verify in writing that the DSL carrier will initiate service. My daughter moved about one mile in the same town. Verizon was happy to switch phone service but after the fact she found out they refused to switch on the DSL. :-( Luckily a cable provider was available (Cox).

It should be good for another 175 years when your done! I like those setups with the pump in the basement. Not knowing where the well is, that I wouldnt like!

They’re a pain in the rump in a small crawl space with an even smaller opening and a fat boy has to back his way into the first 24” then make a blind right turn into and through an even narrower opening into the main crawl space. I tell ya’, makes me want to curse every time. Fact is, I’ve fattened up even more and I’m not sure I can get this lard bucket of mine through that gap anymore. Good thing the boy is 15…I’ll send him under there.

I’ve been thinking about an access through the wood floor, no kidding. LOL!

I know I'd cut a hole in the floor! :lol:

Its no fun in a wellhouse trying to unfreeze the above ground part when its -20 outside and the wind blowing. I learned to appreciate basement setups :lol: But crawling into a crawl space would not be fun either.

I like the part of not having to keep things outside from freezing that basement setups can often achieve. A heat lamp is often enough. Im sure there are exceptions.
