Sprinkler System

Putting in a sprinkler system is hard work, and I'm not the one doing it! 

Jason has spent hours figuring out the master plan. He has gone to All-Tex twice a day somedays, has talked to them for literally hours over the past month; four hours in one day! Just trying to soak in as much "free" information as possible on how to draw out where the sprinkler heads should go, what kind of head to put on it, how far each should spray as to leave no grass unwatered leaving a brown spot and to not spray any windows. 

So, after working on this plan a.l.l.d.a.y Monday he finished! Color Coordinated and everything!


Josh helped him today get started on the ditching, and laying the pipe. But, before all that the guys at All-tex recommended doing a pressure test to make sure it would work by the time it got all the way around the house. Sure enough it does! Yay for that!


They got part of the back yard done. Lots left to do. :)


The grass will have 6 zones all controlled in a green box. And a large controller in the garage. Once you turn it on, it will automatically switch to the next zone. It will take 6 hours to water the whole yard with 1/2 an inch. The plan is to turn it on at night, and let it run! 


The work will be worth it in the end, and I'm sure Jason is thankful for a good brother!
