Can you talk a little about the pre-construction phase? Did the general contracting companies have different housing plans for you to choose from that you can make minor changes to, or did the plan get made from scratch?

Oh hey Jingoist, what's up man?

Heh, I was wondering if you'd remember!

As far as sand filters go, I'm not really an expert, but I don't see how sand will remove dissolved-phase minerals from the water. As far as I know sand filters are used mainly to remove suspended sediment. We use Granular Activated Carbon to filter drinking water at my job, but that is probably too expensive to be feasible.

Your going to buy bulk water because the well water is too dirty, right? I guess I don't understand the scope of the problem from the previous picture either. If your well water isn't potable or will stain clothes washed in it, why not get a filtration unit installed? Won't your plumbing need to be redone to accomodate an aboveground storage tank as opposed to water pumped from the well? What do your neighbors do?
