Got the bigger 7" hole drilled to 130' of 180' when the bit clogged and we had to back out. We ran out of bentonite(a powder mix used to seal up the well to prevent collapse) twice which puts us about 1/2 day behind. Tomorrow we will work on the remaining 50' and then set the casing, flush and develop the well, fill the anulus with gravel and concrete. The anulus is the gap between the outer 7" hole and the 4" hole that will be the water line.
Everyone is doing well, if a bit tired. Michael Johnson and Will Arthur are having a competition to see who can get the dirtiest. So far, it's pretty close.
