Well houses and wild hogs

It is ok for winter to come to Georgia now; insulation is up in the well house and some amount of freezing temperatures can now be tolerated. There are still some finishing touches to be done but practically speaking the project is 99% complete (paint not withstanding).

Unfortunately the entire span between the cabin and the well house was thoroughly rooted sometime in the last few days; this is shaping up to be worse than the winter of 2006-7 from the standpoint of hog damage.

Sigh…..

It looks like the hog wars are on again.
