Can You Dig It?

I wasn’t looking forward to digging a big hole to fix a broken main.

My friend (and Farrier), Robert, took pity on me and dug the hole.

We started digging before the sun came up.

It took about 4 hours total.

Click on His Link,. He’s an excellent Farrier and Digger.

Diaphragm Mistakes

Here’s an owner-installed diaphragm.

Notice the little rubber piece got smashed during installation.

It didn’t function.

I’m not too crazy about this design. I like Rainbird’s diaphragm design much better.

Screen Filter Hole

This filter screen had a big white rock stuck through it.

Never seen this one before.

Sea Shells in the Filter

Well, maybe they aren’t Sea Shells. We *are* in Idaho.

I’ve seen this a couple of times in various parts of the valley.

Strange, huh?

Fence Building Tips

If you’re going to install a wooden fence, be sure you know where the sprinks are.

Yeah, it’s popping up under the fence.

Here’s another tip:

When digging postholes for a Vinyl fence…

Be careful to *not* include the sprinks in the concrete.

The homeowner broke the concrete loose and gave it to me.

Broken Union

About 2 months ago I fixed a broken filter assembly.

I got a call from the client in some distress yesterday. They were looking out their window when they saw the neighbors jumping the fence into their back yard. Then they saw the geyser where the pipes had broken near the filter.

The union that I installed broke from stress or some other reason.

I’ve never seen this happen before, have you?

It *was* made in China.
