"Always Within Grasp"

   Last night the well work stopped at around 9PM, tired out and in need of rest the guys came home to have supper and get some rest, I mentioned yesterday that if things work out they will be able to put the casing down.
   The first casing pipe only went in 5 feet, so they shut down, this morning they went back up there and cleaned out the hole again to about 55, 60 feet, pulled the rods and noticed that just below the surface it was collapsed and there was a big hole, about 3 feet in diameter and about 8 feet deep, so they came to the shop and took some sheet metal and rolled it into a 1 foot diameter circle and pushed it into the ground, That was supposed to keep that part from collapsing again, and it worked.
   Then they pushed all the rods down again to clean out the well and things seemed to be looking up, but when they tried to put the casing back down it wouldn't go past the 50 and 60 foot mark, so they started re drilling everything and I just heard on the radio that they are ready to start putting the casing down again.
Can you notice how close to the ground everything is???
