OT - Sandpoint well in barn or outside barn?

Posted by FreeRanger on December 08, 2006 at 07:24:34 from (130.47.34.2):

Winter is here and I still haven't put a shallow well in down at the barn. This means another season of dragging three 125' hoses out to provide water for the livestock. Then I roll them all up into a ice fishman sled so I can bring them back into the house to keep from freezing. May have to do this five or six times a winter.

SO question is should I put the shallow well inside the barn or outside the barn? I know the water table is not very far down. The neighbor in front of me has spring fed pond at about 20 feet below the floor level of the barn.

People in cold weather states, do you have your frostproof hosebib in the barn or just outside? I am thinking about digging a pit inside the barn to hold the well pump, preasure tank and maybe the hose bib. ANybody have an example of what they are using? The frost line here is about 3 to 4 feet deep.

Any help on putting in a sand point would be appreciated as well.
