It will only take a day!



That's what we hoped. Now it's a month later and it still isn't finished! The sprinkler system, that is. We started back in April and we're still working on it, but at least it's not an "every free minute working on it" thing... now it's an hour here and hour there. We have yet to hook up the timer/controller box, but that will hopefully occur this week!

We had wonderful help from Big D's twin (who dug the "hole to China"), Daddy -o(who has helped with everything, and is helping put the controller box in--I hope!), Peggy(who was still able to keep her manicured nails nice!), Semaj (thanks again for the tools), our good friends Paul (who helped with everything from the giant hole, to trenches and pipes) and Melody (who helped keep a certain Sweet toddler from disappearing into trenches!), and others who lent tools, expertise as well as backs and legs to help with the whole project. Once we get the sod laid in the back yard (slated for Saturday) our very own "back yard makeover" should be finished! It will be nice to enjoy the yard instead of just slaving over it all the time! (Finished product pics to come soon!)

Can't wait to see the finished pictures!! I am wondering if this is going to happen to us this fall as we hope to put on a deck or patio. It's one of those things that you should be able to get done in a day if.... If everything goes perfect. We'll see.

Home/Yard Improvement projects always seem to take more time then we think. Go figure! Just tell yourself that every day you wake up you are one day closer to having sprinklers! BTW... that is one deep hole!

Doesn't everything take longer then we plan? Maybe it's just me. I hope you enjoy wonderful green grass all summer without even lifting a finger to water it! Buddy looks so adorable in that big hole....probably every little boys dream....being in a big dirt hole!
