The Joy of Construction

30 Aug: This is a bit off track, but it describes the joy of any major project. We had two water breaks caused by trucks and construction equipment. The first was the sprinkling system, the second - our neighbor's water main to their house. I didn't take a picture of their leak as it was no fun repairing the pipe at 11 pm at night. However, this is a picture of the mess found by the break in the sprinklers. You can see the great job done when the house was built as three of the main controllers were underground in the center of the yard! When the bobcat ran them over - crack! We had to cut them out of the system, and reroute the pipe using a quickfix to restore water to the house.

In the end, I had to completely repipe this mess. I also chose to put back in the entire sprinlking system back around the pool. It was three solid days of work but I now know where everything runs and saved a ton of money.
