I shoot the pipe, but I didn't shoot the water tank
Yesterday, I was awaken by an endless running water pump in the basement (the pump for the pressure tank) - not a good sound at all
So, I get up, turn the pump off, and make my way up the hill to look at the cistern. What I found was this: an cistern (500 gal tank) bobbing inside the old concrete holding tank, and the exposed water pipe from the spring spewing water down the hill..... with a bullet hole How did I know it was a bullet hole? Easy: hubby and his friend decided to do some target practice a few days ago and on the bottom of the hillside. I clearly remember asking them if they shot the tank It wasn't hard to fix, but I had to drive 25 miles each way to buy replacement pipe. He still claims it was a ricochet - yeah right

I did (but I helped).
Hubby: if you read this, the filter should be fixed too....

They stopped using cisterns years ago around here once deep well drilling got cheaper and cheaper.
make his ass buy you something nice on top of fixing the thing.
