Today is Saturday and the sprinkler system is not installed, at least it is not installed completely. Two of the installers arrived at the Ford Homestead this morning about 7:00am. Finally they are working on a hot weather schedule, you know, arriving early to beat the heat. I asked what their goal for the day was and they replied, “Get all the heads installed, all the trenches covered, clean the yard before it rains”.
Yes, you heard me, it’s going to rain, and I will not need a sprinkler system!
As I sat outside on the Ford’s ole rocker last afternoon, attempting to enjoy an adult beverage, I couldn’t help but see a couple things that are hard to understand. At my feet there is a pipe in the drive way. What the heck does that go to, there is already a sprinkler head in that location. Foto presented below.
Maybe this pipe is there to spray water on my feet during the afternoon meditation periods (aka adult happy time). How did they know my feet are dirty?
In the above photo, we see another pipe that is on top the drive way. There will be a pipe that goes under the drive way connecting to the water meter (hopefully), and the pipe we see will connect to that pipe.
Some of the trenching has been covered over and there are a few piles of dirt around. Supposedly they will clean up at some point.
The last photo in this series is the two fellows who arrived this morning, and they are covering up the evidence, as seen from a security camera.
May your projects go as expected!
