Question about my well

[SWBTATTReg]

7. Get a long rope, long enough to get down to the water, and get a long narrow cylinder that is tailored to go down a well

hole (galvanized steel bucket (or cylinder)), attach the rope to the bucket, and lower the steel bucket down the narrow wellhole, it'll fill up w/ water and you simply hoist it up, water included. You'll be able to hear or feel the bucket down the hole fill up.

Then you hoist the bucket up. Empty the bucket by pulling the tab at the of the narrow steel bucket you lowered into the well, while you hold the bucket into another bucket for the house.

Of course you have the rope off a circular round thing over the well hole, that's anchored into the wood frame that is built over the well hole. I forget what we called this, the rope would wrap around it, and we would store the rope in the smokehouse, and when drawing water, we would get the rope and well bucket out, lower it into the wellhole, get the water hoisted up once it filled up, empty it, and then put it all away until the next time you used it.
