Well despite the ongoing warnings of all the weather idiots... still no rain. It clouded up a bit yesterday, but no rain to speak of. :)
We had the water guy come out ... see below... and we went and took another look at front loading washer and dryer sets... the new Whirlpool Duet "sport" models look like they might just be the winners. Good suspension for main and second floor laundry.
Dinner and swimming at my SILs house with the whole family... it was really a nice get together... but man, I'm suffering.
Suffering? why?
Let me explain...
battery acid is dripping down the back of my nose into my throat...
and I have blown enough snot out of my nose to fill a pickle barrel.
I only have "cold caps" in the med box... and they just make me tired and stupid... So I'm off to the store to by some reactine (anti-snot) and hope for a bit of a reprieve from this torture.
Oh yeah... I fixed the problem with the video link in the house update. ;)

So water.
Who knows about well water?
We have 10 times the acceptable iron - makes the water reddish, enough tannins to make the water yellowish (mix it together and we have slightly orange water). No smell yet... but apparently we may end up with a sulfur smell soon. And the bacteria count is "way below" whatever is supposed to be acceptable. So no problem with bacteria ... yet.
We are looking at a settling tank and this "adds alum" system, for the tannins.
A big-ass filter thing for the iron, sulfur and taking out the tannin wrapped alum.
Then a water softener...
And a reverse osmosis thing for a drinking tap by the sink and "in the fridge".
... and dude... all of this is wicked crazy ass many thousands of dollars, expensive.
Is culligan really all that?

I may have to kill myself to stop this nose-blowing...
