Hadn't heard about those guys. I'd like to try the trip sometime, but
I'd either have to move or
install a sprinkler system for the yard. I think I may be getting my

Trust me, sprinkler systems are much cheaper than moving and a lot
less hassle.

I may have a couple estimates done. Can't hurt I suppose.

There is a machine that cuts a slit, lays the pipe in and covers it
all in one pass. That makes the pipe part easy. It might not work up
there if you have the same "bank run gravel" type soil we had on the
PG side of the river tho.
How do you keep it from freezing?



I have air fittings in the valve supply lines. In the fall I turn off
the water supply, hook up an air compressor, and let the sprinkler
system controller cycle compressed air through each zone for a few
minutes each.


Here, no freeze problem. But we lay out the system on top of the ground
first, to see if it actually does the job. Before doing that, seemed to be
missed areas.

That's a good thing to ask an estimator about. Thanks!
