The Old Pump...Restored

Many projects. This is what I had Jesse Anderson working on this week. To some this may look like we are going backwards. However, I wanted this pump put in place to be one more experience that 21st century kids could enjoy. We had the cast iron pump housing, but Jesse went to work assembling and then mounting above a well. And OH by the way... who reading this has ever resisted pumping one of. these mechanisms in days gone by? One of my next projects is putting a windmill on a spring. Also... For your information (I pretty much refuse to key in FYI)... We look for fun and interesting items to share with our campers. I think the pump will be a hit.
