What type of pipe in the well, and how far down is the pump? You could just put a tee in that flex line to the house. I'd want a stainless union out of that tee, then a couple of ball valves as cutoffs going either direction. https://www.supplyhouse.com/Bluefin-SLU100-T304-1-Stainless-Steel-Union? -
Seems to be a galvanized fitting. I’m fairly certain I’ll need about 3 adapters to get the temporary hookup done, but I’ll figure something out. It doesn’t help that almost nobody puts plumbing fittings back in the correct bin. -
Garden hose threads are different than anything else. Often labeled as 3/4 WH. Ace sells a bunch of different adapters in their brass fittings cabinet. I keep a washing machine hose for emergency hookups as well as various adapters. The washing machine hose is the only short one I know of with female WH ends on both ends. What type of pipe is that faucet screwed onto? Picture would be good. edited: Sometimes GHT for garden hose threads instead of WH for water hose. I see them both ways. Here's an example of the kind of thing you'll need to hook a hose to PVC https://www.amazon.com/Sanpaint-Connector-Garden-Fitting-Adapter/dp/B08FSY4DQT/ref=sr_1_2?

My yard hydrant installation was pretty smooth through 95% of the job. Unfortunately I’m stuck for the moment. I got the Y34 placed, ~100ft of PVC run, but then I tried to remove the spigot from the tee at my well head so I could attach the PVC ball valve and tie into my line to the field. It’s been installed for ~30 years and does not want to budge. I pulled out my 36” pipe wrench to assist, but I’m a bit worried that I’ll snap it off before it unscrews. I don’t have much room to tie into my house supply line without a lot of careful digging, so I’d rather not tap off of that. I’m now thinking that in the short term I’ll use a 6-12” piece of 3/4” garden hose to connect my 1” pvc to the spigot. That way I can at least confirm my PVC joints are solid before I fill in the trench.

to get a shop full of tools worth while will cost thousands. Unless you had orders for a lot of doors, have them made for a lot less money. If you intend to learn woodworking it might eventually pay off. Unless you loose interest and the tools sit...
