Drilling is truly a special trade. My Father, his father (my grandfather) and his father (my great grandfather) started out installing and maintaining jet pumps during the great depression. I continue on the legacy and choose my profession to be a driller. I don’t recall meeting a single dishonest nor crooked driller at various annual drilling conferences that I have been attending since I can remember (about 3 years old!) I can’t help feeling amazed seeing someone else do my job, even though I do it everyday. It is incredible seeing other’s methods and the differences and similarities of every drill rig.
Enjoyed the video. My dad is a 40 year well driller. Started the business when I was about 3 or 4. I drilled a couple of years for him myself. A lot of memories watching this. Guys seamed to do a fine job.
I actually got an email the other day for an installation service from Amazon that they are now offering so I could believe it could be another service offered
Wasn't interested.. not in the market for a drill rig... still had to click and hit like simply because of the facial expression in the thumbnail. Solid gold look on your face... made my day. Might have to poach the pic to meme it everywhere.
This video takes me back to my youth. Among my grandfather's many skills, he was a well driller, using the machine that he built himself. It was an old cable style machine, bouncing the drill bit up and down, not a modern auger machine. It was slow going, taking a couple weeks to drill 80 or 100 foot well. He built it back in the late 60s early 70s, because the 20-foot hand-dug wells on the homestead would run low in the summertime. He also drilled many wells for other people after he retired from his job as mechanic/bus driver, but he never stopped farming. I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to this kind of Hands-On stuff, so I'm looking forward to seeing videos about the well pump and how its integrated into your plumbing system. Cheers.
We call those types of rigs "pounders" out here on the right coast; no one uses them anymore around my area of NY that I've seen; my house well was "drilled" with a pounder style rig 40 years ago and its only 75' deep; always had great supply and best tasting water; all the houses that came after mine in my neighborhood were drilled with rotary rigs; all are 250' feet to 400' deep and they all have sulphur; ya, the rotary rig drilled them wells in a couple days and the pounder took a week or more; but that rotary rig cost at least a half million bucks or more!! That pounder was probably built by someone like your grandfather!!!
@@ront8261 My grandfather was quite the fabricator and mechanic. He watched other people drilling wells, then gathered up miscellaneous parts and built his own.
We had a country neighbor who had that type of well rig. Pick the weight up and drop it pick the weight up and drop it. He built it on an a late 30s truck chassis. I couldn't begin to tell you how many wells he sunk with that rig
Wow. I didn't realize that water didn't come from nature in a plastic bottle. Next your going to try and tell me that meat does not get picked from a tree in its naturally occurring styrofoam and plastic shell. Perhaps there is more to this whole food supply system than Mr. Bloomberg has told us.
So your telling me I can't do 3 or 4 little holes and put a seed in each one and by the end of the summer have a money generating and entire population feeding harvest?!?!

@@wranglerstar I will never forget that story. It gave me chills when you told it! Man, you came close that day for sure. What a way that would have been to go!
My dad drilled water wells in the south for years. Helped out a good bit as a younger fella. It seems not much has changed in 20 years. The process and machinery are all very similar. Dad had a catch pan under his rig that we used a shovel to sort through until we found the right gravel.

Been watching for a really really long time and I’m proud of how far you’ve come with your content but also just the quality and depth of knowledge you’ve imparted on so many people. Thanks Cody, can’t wait to see the next one :)

My Dad was a well driller for over 30 years in the Dakota's. I never truly understood his unique skill set until later in life. He was a master craftsman and respected by his customers and fellow tradesmen. He is gone now. RIP Larry "Shorty" Ellison (Ellison Well Drilling).
This was absolutely fascinating! I'm a city boy, with nothing but municipal water. I've never seen this process. Just absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing!
I remember watching a driller as a kid in our rural Kansas town in the early 1950’s. The driller cautioned a group of us boys to keep back, because of the danger of hitting the power lines. A year later we got news the driller was killed when he accidentally hit a power line with his boom.
Thanks for sharing this video. I have a well on my property in East Texas. I wasn't able to be there when the drilled the well. Your video helps me understand more on how mine was drilled. Mine is about 540' deep.
So relieved to see them not use plastic well casing. Well drilling was my Family's business for over 40 years with a drop drill. One fond memory I have is drilling a well 3.5 miles from my current home with my grandfather and hitting a gold vein 90 feet into the granite bedrock. We immediately knew we had hit a quartz vein and then bingo, gold. Lots and lots of gold. This was 32 years ago and the price of gold was low. My grandad asked the man what he wanted us to do. He said I need a well and I don't need a gold mine so keep drilling. CONGRATULATIONS on your new well.
I enjoyed the movie that was part of the 80s cartoon. Where Unicron is eating the planets? I watched it for the first time in like 2008 at the age of 15. Got a real kick out of the intro: "It is the year 2005, robots from Cybertron have built a city on Earth." Its a lot like the "Back to the Future Part 2" where they made wild predictions about the early 21st century and none of it happened.
Very cool you brought our refreshments. I lost my power pole recently during a storm (long story) I finally got a crew out here to trench in an underground service back to the road at 150ft. I bought them pizza for lunch and beer to take home.... I always believe in treating everyone with some hospitality (something we are known for on the EAST COAST in the South ;-) )
And the funny thing about being hospitable to the workers, they all ways seem to go above and beyond, since they know they're appreciated. Funny how that works.
I got a homestead at a hilltop, dug well and good water at 15 feet. Our home is in the nearby valley, there 's a drilled well 300 ft. and shitty water full of manganese. So You never know.. Greetings from southern Sweden!
Very interesting! The knowledge of well drilling is pretty amazing! In our area, we have layers where you sometimes find solid granite. Many open pit granite mines in our area of St. Cloud MN.
We've drilled up sea shells in lower Alabama almost 300 miles north of the gulf, we found small fish with no eyes swimming in the mud pan before, and some of the bluest clay you've ever seen
Hah i wrote that comment on your facebook post. I didn't read through the nearly 300 comments to see how many people thought of that but I did get a chuckle when I saw that title pop up in my notifications.
Back in the 50's in S. Alabama, we had to have a well dug for our farm. The one we had was collapsing. Three men came out and dug the well by hand and dropped in a 3' concrete casing as they dug. Hit gravel and water at about 30'. That well is still producing water.
@@CGoffgrid Both nice places. Foley has gotten big though as I understand it. I have lived in Texas since 1980 but have friends and family in Bama. A really good friend has a home in Foley and one on the Warrior River up in the middle of the state. You can certainly get off the grid and isolated around Butler.
I LIKE THAT YOU SPOKE ABOUT THE DIVINING RODS IN A VIDEO..( I have been using them for decades to find lots of things, not just water... ( precious metals, ( ESPECIALLY GOLD) can be found with them, as can voids in the ground, buried boulders, lost jewelry, unmarked graves😬 etc... it all depends on the skill of the person searching.
We just drilled our second well drilled, 560 ft got 3gpm. Our earlier one, different property, was 635 with 1.5gpm. Needless to say we did end up with a tall static tower for both.
Looks like you made a lot of basalt gravel. My sister had a similar well at her place near Anatone Washington. It gave her great service for the 15 years she lived there. She said the water tasted great and very low hardness except for a very tiny bit of copper that left just a slight green streak on the shower.
Cody, My step father owned his own soil sampling business. It’s very similar to well drilling. The most physically demanding labour intensive job I’ve ever had. For context I’ve been on a road crew for 8 years and I’m currently a sheet metal worker. No comparison to how demanding drilling is. My hat is off to people who can do this job day in and day out.
When my well was drilled they set the pump at 60 feet. Hit water much sooner, the water static height is 12 feet from the top. Many gallons per minute. 3500.00 complete cost
We've had SimpliSafe for many years. It's nice because you don't have to let a stranger into your home to install it. You just figure out what you need, order it and then install it. Prior to SimpliSafe we had a alarm that would use our home phone line to call out. Someone snipped the inside of the phone line so they could spread it to disconnect it but it still looked connected. We have our system connected to our outbuildings too. The weakest link are lazy police. If a alarm calls the police 3 times, they want to charge the homeowner for having to respond to a call. The people that you rely on to protect you often want to rob you more than any burglar might.
Neighbors had 2 wells put in, 1st put in where he wanted it, 300 feet & no water, 2nd went in where drillers said in should go, 80 feet lots of water. Enjoyed watching video.
So I searched bottled water on Amazon after this. And in addition to the cheap Nestle Amazon Pantry option, I found *LIQUID DEATH MOUNTAIN WATER*, which is just a lovely name for canned (yes, canned) water.
As a former well driller. I laughed at the thought of this title. Lol

My company is making systems for old wells. It started from my own well that is prbbly 30 year old and started getting dry. I had to dug it a bit every year untill I prepared an arduino program for my well :). Program is made to match water extraction to our well performance. 5 years w/o digging Controller is mounted to water pump and You don't put anything in pipes.
While working on a drilling rig in Alaska I personally found large chunks of wood from 3,000 feet down in the arctic!! And back then, I didn't believe in a worldwide flood!!! Now I know
@@LPJMagicmusic it doesn't prove a flood, and it didn't even make me think that at the time. I was told that the arctic area was a tropical region at one time and that was good enough for me. Now I believe in a flood because I now do believe the Bible. The Bible shapes my worldview concerning those tree pieces. I did not mean that the tree pieces made me believe in the Bible. My story of coming to Christ has absolutely nothing to do with those pieces of wood.
That's a fancy schmancy driller! When I was a driller in the coal region on PA (east coaster!), we had to screw the tooling on by hand. You west coast folks ...:D
A friend drilled 6 wells and each went over 400' hitting no water. Lastly they tried in another area and hit water, although to get the flow rate he wanted, they had to go down over 800'. The driller gave him a deal on the dusters, but the one working well cost almost $100,000. Had to put on a VFD and sizeable 3-phase pump to bring it to surface. That's what you get for living on a huge hill. The alternative was to pay the city to connect him, but they wanted a 10-year contract with $25,000 hookup and montly delivery costs of $600 + usage.
Glad to see a good well. Best one I ever had was when I lived in Southern Missouri. Asked about gpm and the drill man said it was running in faster than he could take it out.
Person whom door I knock on: I have simply safe. Me: wouldn't you like to pay a little more for extra safe? Then pull out a $8 jammer and show them what I mean. I sign up almost every single one.
Considering her reaction at the halfway mark, I would love to see how you handled Mrs. W's reaction was when you told her the final number... I am sure I could learn a valuable lesson from you... Hang in there... Love Ya Bro

Watched a water well being bored over 30yrs ago in Rapid City,SD.My father and the neighbors built homes in the hills outside of town.Dads well was like 350Ft-didn't see that one drilled-an neighbors on the hill was 600Ft.Some of the drilling involved boring thru solid granite.The drill rig was much like the one shown-It used an outside air compressor as well as the compressor on the rig.The driller told me some of the drilling they had to use a diamond bit to cut thru the rock.Showed me a 6" one-If used added to your cost 6K for each bit!Otherwise they used the carbide drill as shown.Was thrilling when the driller hit water-Was a small gusher-the water was under some pressure-but not enough to get it to the surface.Submersable pumps had to be used for that well and my Dads.The pumps are one of the more expensive parts used.The electrical equipment for the pump motor on the surface cables and a lifting cable go to the pump so it can be brought to the surface for replacement or service.A lightening storm took out a pump and was replaced.
Ugh, here in Southeast Michigan we hit 100+ gpm at 85' while he was filling his tank truck at the same time. Flows 3 gpm, at the top of the well naturally. Fortunately, it only cost around $9k
I'm in NY - 50 miles north of NYC. Drillers hit water at 50 feet. They continued drilling to 125 feet to make a reservoir. 60 gpm was flooding my front yard. That had to pipe it away from the house until they capped the well.
That's awesome Cody, we got our water done last month which we were surprised finding out the water table was sitting at 150m deep. We taste beautiful and super clean.
At least Thats one thing Wrangler needs help with like all of us mortal viewers. He just probably gets it for free for even mentioning the name of company. But he work hard so far. Gotta give him that, plus all that Amazon affiliate money is something East Coast guys would appreciate.
when we had to drill the well for my parents house we had to go a little over 500 feet... that was REALLY expensive, doesn't help that nw Washington is solid granite
Ya my friend lives in sand. He was 496’ to bed rock and they had to Frak. $50,000 well in Canada. Research your property before your buy. He got a good deal on the property, but now that he got stung with that well bill he might as well bought the one he really wanted. My well is 40’ to bedrock.
"Wood? at 800ft Deep? Could it be that the team have uncovered the true location of the money pit?" Lol sorry but I just can't stop seeing the Oak Island references in this video. It's amazing.
When we built our home in 1997 I used Rollins on the North Shore (Topsfield) Massachusetts. It was 305' deep and I got 55G/M :-) Pump was at 105 feet. Of course, it's only a 15G/M pump and 45 PSI tank, so the 55G/M didn't mean a lot other than the fact 1/4 mile up the road only got 2G/M. Paid $8/foot for well and $8/foot for casing. Total was around $9000 as I recall. Now we live outside Phoenix where we have no water :-(

Andy Schlamp Oh I know. Just going for a touch of light hearted new. I didn’t mean to knot up your knickers.
Hah i wrote that comment on your facebook post. I didn't read through the nearly 300 comments to see how many people thought of that but I did get a chuckle when I saw that title pop up in my notifications.
Was halfvay expecting AvE to show up, but then again he might have :-)
no one was called Bumblefork though
Keep your stick in the slice
Back in the 50's in S. Alabama, we had to have a well dug for our farm. The one we had was collapsing. Three men came out and dug the well by hand and dropped in a 3' concrete casing as they dug. Hit gravel and water at about 30'. That well is still producing water.
Where in South Bama?
@@CGoffgrid Camden, Wilcox County.
@@ECS-Dad I stay in Foley. 😉👍
Planning to build off grid up around Butler soon.
@@CGoffgrid Both nice places. Foley has gotten big though as I understand it. I have lived in Texas since 1980 but have friends and family in Bama. A really good friend has a home in Foley and one on the Warrior River up in the middle of the state. You can certainly get off the grid and isolated around Butler.
Oh my god, she's getting big already! And she's ADORABLE! "Any fishies in there? Oh... okay" 😂
I LIKE THAT YOU SPOKE ABOUT THE DIVINING RODS IN A VIDEO..( I have been using them for decades to find lots of things, not just water... ( precious metals, ( ESPECIALLY GOLD) can be found with them, as can voids in the ground, buried boulders, lost jewelry, unmarked graves😬 etc... it all depends on the skill of the person searching.
One sponsored video pays for a new well.. I’d say our friend Cody is doing pretty well. Congratulations my man
We just drilled our second well drilled, 560 ft got 3gpm. Our earlier one, different property, was 635 with 1.5gpm. Needless to say we did end up with a tall static tower for both.
You left out the un-boxing. So disappointed :)
I know right? Lol
Looks like you made a lot of basalt gravel. My sister had a similar well at her place near Anatone Washington. It gave her great service for the 15 years she lived there. She said the water tasted great and very low hardness except for a very tiny bit of copper that left just a slight green streak on the shower.
I've been doing my dishes in the wrong sink all these years
Cody, My step father owned his own soil sampling business. It’s very similar to well drilling. The most physically demanding labour intensive job I’ve ever had. For context I’ve been on a road crew for 8 years and I’m currently a sheet metal worker. No comparison to how demanding drilling is. My hat is off to people who can do this job day in and day out.
as someone who has been working on geotechnical rigs for years, thanks for the shout out. many people dont even know we exist
When my well was drilled they set the pump at 60 feet. Hit water much sooner, the water static height is 12 feet from the top. Many gallons per minute. 3500.00 complete cost
We've had SimpliSafe for many years. It's nice because you don't have to let a stranger into your home to install it. You just figure out what you need, order it and then install it. Prior to SimpliSafe we had a alarm that would use our home phone line to call out. Someone snipped the inside of the phone line so they could spread it to disconnect it but it still looked connected. We have our system connected to our outbuildings too. The weakest link are lazy police. If a alarm calls the police 3 times, they want to charge the homeowner for having to respond to a call. The people that you rely on to protect you often want to rob you more than any burglar might.
When that guy said he had a good feeling, I was completely confident in his feeling. These guys seem like they know what they’re doing
Very funny! Puddle jumpers remorse. "Are there any fishes?"
Up next: Testing the cheapest fracker on Amazon.
Calfrac has an Amazon store? 😄
Sandler23 I wanted to say that lol
Neighbors had 2 wells put in, 1st put in where he wanted it, 300 feet & no water, 2nd went in where drillers said in should go, 80 feet lots of water. Enjoyed watching video.
The cheapest water on amazon up next! -
Spread a little Love today friends. Cheers and many blessings to all
NickPixelTV actually a really nice channel! Greetings from texas Nick.
Larry Thank you. Just getting started. I’m sure it’s warmer there than it is PA right now ;) Anyone else from PA?
NickPixelTV 60 degrees in Beaumont right now and even though im a husqvarna guy.. your chainsaw video was really cool.
Larry 26 here thank you. Hope to make more soon
So I searched bottled water on Amazon after this. And in addition to the cheap Nestle Amazon Pantry option, I found *LIQUID DEATH MOUNTAIN WATER*, which is just a lovely name for canned (yes, canned) water.
Splashing in the puddle ... 🤣😂🤣. Awesome. Thank you for brightening my day!
Fun Fact - This video was shot entirely on an iPhone
another great video non the less
Which one?
If you're watching it on a phone, most can't tell the difference
Although I strongly dislike IOS and the phones, I can't think of any android phone that's better at making videos.
I love Jack’s reaction to the gravel hahaha! I can picture him patting you on the head saying “good job dad”
As a former well driller. I laughed at the thought of this title. Lol
My company is making systems for old wells. It started from my own well that is prbbly 30 year old and started getting dry. I had to dug it a bit every year untill I prepared an arduino program for my well :).
Program is made to match water extraction to our well performance. 5 years w/o digging
Controller is mounted to water pump and You don't put anything in pipes.
While working on a drilling rig in Alaska I personally found large chunks of wood from 3,000 feet down in the arctic!! And back then, I didn't believe in a worldwide flood!!! Now I know
Ok but how in the hell does that prove a flood? To me that just means over millions of years dirt and rock has formed above it. Im genuinely curious.
@@LPJMagicmusic it doesn't prove a flood, and it didn't even make me think that at the time. I was told that the arctic area was a tropical region at one time and that was good enough for me. Now I believe in a flood because I now do believe the Bible. The Bible shapes my worldview concerning those tree pieces. I did not mean that the tree pieces made me believe in the Bible. My story of coming to Christ has absolutely nothing to do with those pieces of wood.
That's a fancy schmancy driller! When I was a driller in the coal region on PA (east coaster!), we had to screw the tooling on by hand. You west coast folks ...:D
East Coast Guys don't drink enough water,
@@wranglerstar roger that
Awesome work with the edit, Jack!
A friend drilled 6 wells and each went over 400' hitting no water. Lastly they tried in another area and hit water, although to get the flow rate he wanted, they had to go down over 800'. The driller gave him a deal on the dusters, but the one working well cost almost $100,000. Had to put on a VFD and sizeable 3-phase pump to bring it to surface. That's what you get for living on a huge hill. The alternative was to pay the city to connect him, but they wanted a 10-year contract with $25,000 hookup and montly delivery costs of $600 + usage.
On the EAST coast we just punch out a well with our fists.
lmao its so easy to make a well in newengland
Glad to see a good well. Best one I ever had was when I lived in Southern Missouri. Asked about gpm and the drill man said it was running in faster than he could take it out.
Now just need to paint it camo so you can say you can't see that well.
Person whom door I knock on: I have simply safe.
Me: wouldn't you like to pay a little more for extra safe? Then pull out a $8 jammer and show them what I mean. I sign up almost every single one.
Spoiled here with an 80' well and 26' static water level producing 30 GPM year round. Curious about the choice of Iron casing versus PVC.
Just what the ground and the state regs demand but personally I like steel... Some one is going to hit with something eventually
The driller probably had more to say about the casing. Joe Schmoe knows nothing different.
Loved the video, slightly sad not to hear your blessings at the end. Your family is still always in my prayers, thank you for what you do Cody.
I’ve been trying to find a way to pay for this expensive hold my ground. Me - “ where’s the dynamite”.
I like Jack's sarcasm he is gaining with age "ohh excited" 🤣
I know Jack will miss his kidney but he's young.....JK;)
The Loctite Rocket at the end LOL
Considering her reaction at the halfway mark, I would love to see how you handled Mrs. W's reaction was when you told her the final number... I am sure I could learn a valuable lesson from you... Hang in there... Love Ya Bro
The COMMENTS ALONE - deserves a thumbs up 👍
LMAO! Cody, this is trolling level 1000. Bravo. Love it.

'Yeah I was thinking of trying a few different rods with different lures'
'Awesome after could we try a few different well drillers?'
The title hooked me. I had to see if it was real or an early April Fool’s joke.
Watched a water well being bored over 30yrs ago in Rapid City,SD.My father and the neighbors built homes in the hills outside of town.Dads well was like 350Ft-didn't see that one drilled-an neighbors on the hill was 600Ft.Some of the drilling involved boring thru solid granite.The drill rig was much like the one shown-It used an outside air compressor as well as the compressor on the rig.The driller told me some of the drilling they had to use a diamond bit to cut thru the rock.Showed me a 6" one-If used added to your cost 6K for each bit!Otherwise they used the carbide drill as shown.Was thrilling when the driller hit water-Was a small gusher-the water was under some pressure-but not enough to get it to the surface.Submersable pumps had to be used for that well and my Dads.The pumps are one of the more expensive parts used.The electrical equipment for the pump motor on the surface cables and a lifting cable go to the pump so it can be brought to the surface for replacement or service.A lightening storm took out a pump and was replaced.
"we're at 110 feet, so ten thousand dollars...." ouch. And you weren't even done yet.
Pocket change here on Wrangler land, dint worry mate,.it can go down 1,000 and we'll have video for you and affiliate Link to follow
Ugh, here in Southeast Michigan we hit 100+ gpm at 85' while he was filling his tank truck at the same time. Flows 3 gpm, at the top of the well naturally. Fortunately, it only cost around $9k
Your wife's a delight. She's so cheerful
I'm in NY - 50 miles north of NYC. Drillers hit water at 50 feet. They continued drilling to 125 feet to make a reservoir. 60 gpm was flooding my front yard. That had to pipe it away from the house until they capped the well.
wow thats crazy, so did they just drill another well that wasnt so deep?
No, they came back the next day to dig a trench to the house. It's been more than 20 years - no problems.
I'm so glad you went with this title. 😂
That's awesome Cody, we got our water done last month which we were surprised finding out the water table was sitting at 150m deep. We taste beautiful and super clean.
150 meters? That musta cost $30k+.

Just but Sympli Safe so it's worth putting in well
Ravens gate makes a good tool for checking static level. One push of a button. I love mine
when we had to drill the well for my parents house we had to go a little over 500 feet... that was REALLY expensive, doesn't help that nw Washington is solid granite
Ya my friend lives in sand. He was 496’ to bed rock and they had to Frak. $50,000 well in Canada.
Research your property before your buy. He got a good deal on the property, but now that he got stung with that well bill he might as well bought the one he really wanted. My well is 40’ to bedrock.
"Wood? at 800ft Deep? Could it be that the team have uncovered the true location of the money pit?"
Lol sorry but I just can't stop seeing the Oak Island references in this video. It's amazing.
How is Timmy suppose to fall down that well. Poor Lassie
When we built our home in 1997 I used Rollins on the North Shore (Topsfield) Massachusetts. It was 305' deep and I got 55G/M :-) Pump was at 105 feet. Of course, it's only a 15G/M pump and 45 PSI tank, so the 55G/M didn't mean a lot other than the fact 1/4 mile up the road only got 2G/M. Paid $8/foot for well and $8/foot for casing. Total was around $9000 as I recall. Now we live outside Phoenix where we have no water :-(
That's an expensive day.Im always on edge when paying by the foot.
