as new homeowners, we now own a sprinkler system. we’ve never owned a sprinkler system. it didn’t take long to figure out but it’s not super intuitive (unless it’s one of those “i’m not super intuitive because i’m a cheap model” types). yesterday, i donned a swimsuit and flip flops and armed with a calphalon skillet lid, went to each sprinkler head to make adjustments. by the end, i had accomplished my goal but i had shredded my finger, got myself stabbed by the bougainvillea, and i was sopping wet.

below is just one of many examples of my resourcefulness…broke one sprinkler head, used parts of another and voila! – fixed!
