The consensus seemed that we should run our water for an extended length of time to run out all the old accumulations before we put too much weight in the water sample results. All four of them agreed that shocking was more of a short-term fix to get things back to a more "natural" state since the well had been unused for so long. All said that shocking the well would only get rid of bacteria, not iron. The other three guys recommended various combinations of water softeners, iron filters, and other equipment, ranging from $2200 - $3500. But our well casing is smaller than what is now standard, so I'm not sure if that was a factor. He also stated that the risks included over-chlorination and possibly burning out the well pump if the well ran dry while he was shocking it. After the chlorination he wanted to recirculate the water, and said the process would take 3-4 days total and we'd be unable to use the well during that time.

I have asked the neighbours to keep the height down, it isn't necessary, but I now lose all my winter sun and my garden and lawn are dying. This particular pine is banned in many places and I think it is here too, but I'm not sure exactly when it was banned and whether it is retrospective. It is way over legal height so I won't have any trouble getting it removed, but the bigger problem is that they have planted a row of pine trees that grow over 100ft high right along the boundary. It has a couple of times but the idiots keep putting it back up. I have a similar thing at the back of my place but it was only done as a makeshift thing so I'm waiting for it to fall down. 
Makes it even harder to disguise when it seems to be so close to your house. Antoinette, I really feel for you with your wall too.
