Adding another item to my resume

I can now add another skill to my domestic resume.

I can fix the sprinklers (well, some aspects of them anyway). 

Backtrack to two weeks ago, I discover that I've been filling the neighborhood gutters because one of the sprinkler lines is broken.  Dad comes into town that weekend and helps me dig out (what a pain with all the roots in the way!) the line and discovers that there is a split in the black line.  Off to Home Depot we go.  Come home, do a little repair and let the line sit overnight.  Next day, Dad leaves, I test the line.  Find another split on the OTHER side of the repair.  Off to Home Depot I go.  After several trips and several days I finally manage to fix the line. 

Then I mow the lawn and clip one of the rainbirds.  Off to Home Depot I go, again.

I tested the line this afternoon (and got soaked in the process), voila!  This sprinkler line is fixed.

I wonder which one will misbehave next?

Very good of you to NOT mention that good old Dad probably caused some of the leaks while digging thru 6 cubic feet of roots with a scattering of soil holding them together. I typically cause at least one leak for every one that I fix. College education is good for something (learning to count your screwups). Glad everything is working for now.
