Thanks Jim. Planning on breaking ground June 20. Working with Johnson and sons construction.
Mart is right about very shallow wells and surface water, plus who knows what can get in the water below (even what your pets leave behind).
Anyway, a coworker of mine and his uncle drove a 40' 2" pipes in sections of 6' in length using a jackhammer. However, unlike shown on "youtube.com" these guys continuously turned the pipe that was being driven into the ground using a pipe wrench (jackhammer moving the pipe down, and the pipe being turned around by the other guy). He said that it took them about four hours.
The pump and a tank are inside the cabin, and the pipe outside is insulated coming into the house, plus heat-taped. The cabin is heated winter long. If you want a submerged pump outside (in the well), then the pipe can't be 2" since that's too narrow for the pump.
