[QUOTE="farmeroz, post: 43734, member: 959"] Ok everyone I need some DIY ideas and hints or tips... [b]How do you find out whats on the bottom of a Well?[/b] I know of an old Water Well from late 1890's and would like to know if anything lays lost on the bottom of it. The problem is its about 8 foot deep, made out of old brick walls. But the top foot or two of the walls has sagged inwards. So its not as easy as dropping a ladder in it due to the top being unstable. ( and a bit of a walk to the well from the car ) I was trying to think of some kind of contraption to be able to scrape the bottom or something.. The only thing i could think of to start with is getting my hands on someones long swimming pool scoop net and try that or modify it to be able to get a better scrape of whats on the bottom... Ill try and post a photo in the next day or so any ideas ? or anyone been there done that ? :) [/QUOTE]
