Miss Adventure -  Project 3
B & T's Well
The Davis Creek Well
This is the well before it was finished.
November 6, 1998
T and B
This adventure is turning out to be more work that I ever dreamed. First, the shipwreck. Then gathering supplies, getting to the island, and building a shelter. Now finding water. I think the water is in Davis Creek.  My house is down below the creek.  The water flows down into the well through the hole in the well. You can put the bucket down into water and wind it up.
Some of our problems were finding the string and putting it in the axle on Lego Cad.  It was also hard to put the pieces where they should be on the model.  The model fell apart once, and we had to put it back together.
Actually, it wasn't very hard work if you think about it.

Well when it is finshedNow we will not go thirsty again!
We put the string and the hook on, and the axle.
The Davis Creek well is now finished, and  complete.
