Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Thanks for your concerns, but I don’t think it’s that bad. As I stated the roots are in a very small area 40 feet down. The well is sealed to that point. That’s well below the dog crap line. I was present when the lower well was dug. The well driller even paid me $364.00 when his worker...
