We must be completely insane. Who else on earth do you know who would install a sprinkler system in their lawn three weeks before they are moving out? Yes, I am sad to say I think we have completely lost our minds. A project Nate thought would take him a "few" days to do, he is now on day 5 of. Yikes...will it ever be done? Thankfully Andrew K came down and helped him yesterday. Hopefully he will be done today (or maybe more like tomorrow). And then we just have to get the grass to grow back.

This is Nate with the trencher he rented. So manly, eh?


You can't see it very well in the picture but Nate had to dig a 5 foot hole in our flower bed to tap the main water line. He had to get down in the hole and scoop out the dirt with a cup. (I think he did this the hard way!)

My poor flower beds...all torn up.

So, here is our advice to you. If you ever get the crazy idea to install a sprinkler system by yourself...DON'T DO IT! Unless of course you will stay in your house for longer than three weeks, and actually get to enjoy the benefits of all your hard work! :)
