(another cup?)

We've installed our underground sprinklers yesterday, yippie. Jim came by to help out and get all the hoses and sprinklers in the ground. Amy took a half day off of work to be our gopher all day. I picked up the trench digger up first thing in the morning, broke our fence to get it into the back yard and I went to town digging trenches.

I returned the machine, went back to the sprinkler supply and Jim arrived and went to it with cleaning some of the trenches for the hoses. While I was trenching, I found two stray Cable TV wires and the leader to my dry well. I fixed that, and left the wires, because I didn't loose my cable, and I don't know about any of the neighbors.

We put everything in the ground that took the most amount of work, I still have to plumb the line out the manifold and the actually manifold itself. My dad was cool enough to get us a few things for the sprinklers, but I was short a few heads and some fittings. Now that it is in the ground, I'm excited to get it working in the spring.

The stats are:

• 6 zones, one for the garden, one for the flower beds in the front and four for the yard itself
• 3 mister type heads
• 13 rotor type heads
• 600+ feet of hose
• 1 future spigot line for my garden as well.

I'm waiting for the spring to finish up the garden zone, mainly because when Amy goes to it with the planting, I'll need to know what kind of watering she needs.

Now I'm sore for the next few days from working so hard.
