Yeah well we (my boss and I for work) go by this one house in Kirtland every week to cut grass at his mom and dad's house and then another house near it. Every time we drove past this big huge mansion house they were doing something there. For a while it was putting some sort of very expensive copper roof or something on the house and then after that for the longest time there was this big landscape company (not us but we wished it was so we could make more money) that was putting in a big statue and doing all kinds of yard work and various things. Then last week when we drove past it across the street from it was this big field and there was this big drill rig type of a thing that was pretty tall drilling in the field off towards the woods and there weren't any buildings near it so we couldn't figure out what it was but I had an idea from how tall it was and looking at pictures online that it was probably a gas well drilling operation but that didn't seem to make sense why suddenly now they would drill a gas well there. Well today when we drove past that house it was a one lane road because some big trucks were parked in the one lane of the road and they said some sort of company name and then natural gas and another one said something or other drilling. Well it seems to be that this multimillionaire whose house my boss thinks costs at least $5 million has paid to have a gas well drilled in a field that must be his across the street to which he must have the mineral rights. They looked like they were getting ready to run a pipe from it to his house and dig up the road or something. So anyway it seems that he has had himself a natural gas well drilled in the past week for his house, back in the field it has this big area of orange construction fence all around and there are these huge piles of dirt all over the place and big pipes like they use to put down in the well, not really pipes but the well thing itself, like maybe they were extras or something. So yeah he had a gas well drilled for him. I suppose he will use it a lot in the winter to heat his huge mansion. Maybe he will even put an indoor pool in and a gas heater for it, or maybe he already has that, lol. What a lucky bastard, why can't I have a gas well, I want to be able to heat my pool for free and use it all year round.
