It will depend a lot on what kind of soil is in your area and what kind of well you want. I think you need at least a four inch casing for a submersible pump. Five inch would be better. With a rig like that I doubt that you will do much more than drill down to the bed rock and the water on top of the bed rock is more likely to be contaminated from surface water run off. If this well will be used for drinking water I would suggest going with a pro. outfit. As said earlier it is money well spent. If you want to go the DIY route use that energy for the plumbing and trenching part of the well. Installing water lines, electrical supply and controls for the pump, pressure tank and an outside hydrant or two will cost as much to have done as getting the well drilled. When I built my own place I had the well drilled by a professional crew, but I did all the other stuff myself. One expense that I have never regretted was using all 1 inch pipe instead of 1/2 or 3/4 inch. Great water pressure and lots of volume.
