That is a drill truck alright, not an easy feat to get one on a hillside. We aren't drilling for oil though. This is all part of our Geothermal heat and air system. The truck gets in position and anchors itself then the drill goes up.(notice the wheels off the ground)
They have drilled 5 holes. 3 of the holes are 200 feet deep, and the other 2 are 150 feet deep. Then they run a inch hard plastic pipe down and back up. That would be 400 feet in a 200 foot hole. This is a closed system of liquid.
All of this is happening right at the front door. Then the 1-inch pipes are somehow ran into the furnaces. I'm really not sure how this works, but it does and was very interesting to watch.
After all is said and done, they back fill with gravel and concrete. This is all you are left with.
This is very interesting. Did they hit water when they drilled? I am anxious to come see it. I spent the morning in Lex. today buying gifts for all the wedding and baby showers that I have been invited to and the rest of the day/evening in bed with a horrible headache.
