I woke up today to a startling, “you’re front yard is flooding!” and upon walking outside, the sprinkler system was busted right where the main line connects to the front yard. Check out the pictures at trelijah. I have a before and after. I’ve never done any plumbing before and went to the Home Depot to buy some quick drying blue cement and a 1″ end cap just in case we needed to stop the system entirely. TO sum it up, we were out of water for the 4 hours, I drained a couple of buckets worth emptying out the area where I needed to patch up the piping and then after more yardwork, I rested a bit. Exciting way to start the day.
I bid for my December schedule and got awarded my vacation allotment for 2009. I’m off for a red eye back to ATL then I’ll be flying around the system for the next three days. Catch me back in San Diego on Saturday night or Baton Rouge Thursday and Friday night.
