My project for the past week or so has been work on installing a sprinkler system. It started well over a week ago with reading, planning, etc. Last Monday was the start of moving some mulch/landscaping fabric around and the very beginning of trenching. A little continued work on that in evenings Tuesday and Wednesday.
Took PTO Thursday and Friday, so the past 4 days were constant work. Dug out a lot of dirt under the deck to make way for main lines. Rented a trencher to do the sections that weren't under the deck and make way for lateral lines through the rest of the yard to sprinkler locations. Haven't been this sore in a while and still have a ways to go.
Two of the five boxes for control valves are in place. The wires to go from valves to the central controller is ran as well. I'm hoping to get one or two more boxes in their place after work tonight. Once those are in place I can create the manifolds (series of pipes/valves for each box) and get them in place - then finally the home stretch of laying out the lateral lines and placing sprinklers.
