Found a well…

[nox_uk]

I hear Wells are good places for rubble?

not enjoying it that much!

Look up from the bottom however…



scary beard down there

Now don't take this wrong way, but with that hard hat and beard combo, you absolutely look like the kind of nut case that would be on a ladder down a well.

I hope the rope was essentially just tied around your waste?

Great thread well read again.

How do we suppose they constructed this, would it have been a rough-cut hole in to which they built the brickwork and backfilled around the edge with dirt?

That question has had me thinking a lot over the last month(s)…

sorry, my other half insisted something better… we’ve borrowed a lumberjacks harness, which make climbing ones look positively weak…

I'm actually claustrophobic but I think u look very scary also here.

I'd have hoped it was tied round his waist otherwise what you're suggesting opens up a whole new level of questioning

This is awesome, will be keeping an eye on this thread for sure!

The brickwork is in amazing condition too, such a cool find

the rubble though is not going to be fun to get rid of…

Couple of bits a week in the wheelie bin and it will soon disappear!

I think Fred Dibnah has a youtube clip of him digging a mine shaft and lining it with bricks -same thing really

i vote we sneak around one night and fill it in

 

[mrbazmondo]

lol the thought did cross my mind, but to be honest, we are both kind of enjoying this

If there are any good bricks in the rubble you could just use it to extend a wall up around the top. Or even make a fat double skinned wall and fill with the rubble.

 

[something daft already!!]

I thought this was relevant.

so we did get some full bricks, but are saving them for a block wall we built at the other end of the garden. We plan to ‘front’ it with flint and the old bricks so it looks the same as the other walls

Hahaha

Doh! Just don’t fall in… I heard filling in someone else well with my rubble is a lot more fun?

 

[nox_uk]

Sorry, no well update this weekend we had other tasks and it’s a 2 person job from here on

Have you noticed a rise/fall in the water level at all depending on the height of the water table?

you know you could just dig another hole and bury them.......thats what our builder apparently did with all the half bricks from our garage build......kept finding them for years....

orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......imagine the potatoes at that depth keep covering them...be a devil to harvest them
