Yardwork. . .

Looks like we had a large gopher in our yard! Front and back.
 














































  
 And there he is now. . .

 With his helper!

We had issues with our sprinker system and since we had no drawing showing where the controls were, my HD had to dig up the yard and follow the wiring until he found them.

Of course, little Daisy was always helping by attacking his tools and carrying off weeds and sticks!

He found the troublemaker for the front system and with a $13 part, repaired it. Now he will need to readjust the sprinkler heads since the pressure is so much greater. Yeah!! We can water the yard fully again.

Next project will be to replace the sprinkler heads in the back yard.

We have mapped the front and back yard so we know where controls are. Looking at the layout of the pipes, we have decided that whoever put this system in had a bit much to drink, and it wasn't water!!

Still need to find all valves in the back yard but as long as they are working, we are good for now.
