Water Pump

I've been wanting to paint this water pump for over a year. Finally have the paint, a good brush, and the time with decent weather.

He got this pump on E-Bay when we first moved here. It covers the water pump in the well room, which last Sunday got 18 1/2 bags of concrete poured into it. Surely this house had a well pump similar to this before indoor plumbing was introduced into the household.

The well pump house has an elevated platform and the missing pump created a hole, which was apparently great entertainment for the previous occupants. The well room had beer caps and cans and toys and assorted debris inside. He felt it should be capped because it was open to the elements and anything that might happen to drop in.

I love the pump but it had faded over the last five years. Time does evaporate!
