Learn how to increase water pressure (that outcome is hopeful)

First turn off the well pump.

Partly open water filter containers and find out that turning off the water didn't work it's apparent purpose (i.e. turning off the water).

Screw containers back into position and call Dad to find out what to do next.

Go climb into the pump house and turn off the water that way.

Attempt containers again. Find out that this time it worked and change filters.

Check water pressure and find out that changing the filters didn't do anything to help.

Find out middle filter container is spurting water even though screwed on tightly.

Attempt screwing it tighter and break the whole pipe.

Run to the pump house while your older brother calls Dad and get your younger sister to help you lift the roof while an even younger sister puts the pole up to support it. Don't break your back while yelling at her to put it in the correct spot.

Climb in and hope the roof doesn't fall on you while turning off the water from there.

Hope the garage isn't flooding too badly.

Live without water for as long as needed.

We haven't figured out how long that part is. Ah, the joys of learning various household necessities two days from Christmas.

As before and always be,
