Oh I guess everyone has enough toilet paper now so they are stocking up on 6 ft 4 x 4 .  Had to buy 8 ft and will cut them off.

Is that an actual well or just a prop?

I can but have my hands full for a little bit.  If you do not have a solution in 3-4 weeks I can devote some brain matter to it.

Real pump off an old farm.  Propped up on my patio just visualizing the set up.  Bought a submersible fountain pond pump at Menards.

I would submit to you, Tom, that you don't need anyone else's help to pull that off. Really cool idea.

Well now the wife decides a bucket hanging on the pump overflowing into the barrel would be a nice touch.

It seems like you could keep the pump itself out of the water, but yeah, that's basically it.

I got a 330 GPH pond/fountain pump.  I could take 8man suggestion and get the pump put of the water I guess too.

Trying to figure out if this will be a therapeutic trickle flow or will the water jet out of the end like a pressure washer.

No need to keep it out if you got a pump that is made to go in the water already. 

If it is really pumping out 330 GPH, that is going to be 5.5 GPM, which is about 4x your typical new shower head.

1/2 whiskey barrel holds 20 gallons water.  That should be enough of a reservoir?

Nah, my buddy down the street did, he has a metal shop.  I traded him equipment and plumbed his redneck pool in for him.  In exchange he provided the metal and metal work for mine.

Posts for deck attached to deck frame, about to pour crete and let it set.  Then I can start on holes and posts for sitting ledge around the rest of the redneck pool perimeter.
