Subject: Water filtration

Depending on how quickly this change  happened in your friends well, the well itself may be in trouble or more likely, your friend may be overusing the well and pulling sediment into their well.

I would not reccommend trying to throw filters at it until you figure out what the real problem is.

Subject: Re:  Water Filtration recommendations needed

Before you invest in water filtration, it’s probably a good idea to figure out what it is that needs to be filtered and if filtration is the best option.  I would suggest you contact the Chatham County Environmental Health Department, Water Quality Sampling.

Subject: It’s officially SPIDER WEEK!!!

Dearest, Chatlisters

It’s not Shark Week yet, that’s in July.

The past few days of warm weather have undoubtedly amounted into this week becoming SPIDER WEEK! A quick trip under the house with a very powerful (custom Eric Shook Flashlight) removed doubts that it’s time to spider proof the house once again.

Like a scene from “Arachnophobia”-circa 1990, I was face to face with a foundation wall covered with with adult brown spiders. Last night I woke up and found one on the headboard of my bed. Not a good feeling.
