We had a pulley hung on a horizontal cross bar about 7 ft above ground. I am proud to say, I was pretty skillful at flipping the pail neatly to 'scoop' out the water.

We had such a pail before and it weighed several katies even when empty. You would have a problem drawing water from a well if a modern light plastic pail was used.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826590137201441127.post-17897165253241773792008-07-27T20:05:00.000+08:002008-07-27T20:05:00.000+08:00thanks peter for the info. it was my friend who li...thanks peter for the info. it was my friend who lived at chia keng. i have gone to the website to check it out, and i have passed this info to my friend. really good records of the past.yghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054865524193859788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826590137201441127.post-70986565849008304382008-07-27T19:17:00.000+08:002008-07-27T19:17:00.000+08:00Type "RAF Chia Keng" and see if the surroundings r...Type "RAF Chia Keng" and see if the surroundings remind you of your past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
