Q: How far can I hand drill a well?

• <div><p>The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth.

Q: How close to the gas line can I dig?

• <div><p>Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homeowner-liable-damage-gas-line-contractor.htm">liable for hitting a gas line</a> in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to dig a trench by hand?

• <div><p>It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you&rsquo;re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if my well was dug or drilled?

• <div><p>Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that&rsquo;s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you&rsquo;d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property&rsquo;s construction and excavation history. </p></div>

David cleaned, caulked vents, nailed loose shingles, and applied sealant to our roof. He is great about communication, arrived when he said he would, pricing is very fair, and was such a pleasure to work with. We will eventually need a new roof and would not hesitate to use him as our roofer.

"Tyler let me know when he was coming to my house. We looked at how I would like the drip system placed and he offered some great suggestions. He came back the next week and worked for three whole days! He did a wonderful job and even gave me a discount, although he should have taken the whole amount. I would highly recommend Tyler Waite. He is friendly, courteous, dependable, and very thorough! I am completely satisfied with his work!"
