    Where are you located? Are you looking for a sprinkler or weeping system?

    There is a v shaped notch in the forms to make a key way between the border we are pouring first and the panels we infill the border with second

    You're going to pour straight up against the 1st pour of concrete or are you going to put an expansion joint in there? Seems like it would be hard with the V key way your going to end up with. :notsure:

    Taking a break on my own nightmare. Well my mom's house. Total water line replacement in house. Came down from attic. I'm a journeyman plumber not a master but from my experience a master only means you passed the test o_O
    So what's the question?

    I should've known it was you Scott :facepalm: :boink:
    I'm a little brain dead from all day crawling around attic yesterday and I've never messed with irrigation much just drip. But i do have a well. I'd increase size of pipe so there's more volume. I mean major Increase maybe there's an irrigation that can chime in?

    I don't know about adding a second pressure tank but as a backflow licensee, I'd seperate and protect the house or potable from irrigation. I have increased pipe size from 1" to 4" over a long distance to have enough volume to flush a Sloan valve. If increased and decreased within a foot per say would create a backflow. Make sense?

    I wouldn't use a pressure reducer since most wells around me are 45 to 55 psi. But a prv would make that a closed loop. I've only used a prv for drip irrigation. I'm sold on drip systems as long as they are a connected grid, no dead legs. With adjustable dippers .

    Your not worried with expansion/contraction in your areas? I can understand it, say down here where our temp. fluctuation is negligible and we never go below freezing, but up there I would think you would want a felt expansion joint there, or at least slip dowels?

    Just curious.

    There will be a bond break between the panels and the border will get control joint cuts at intersections but frost heave is not really a big issue here

    Ahhh, thank you. That's what I was assuming, but you know what they say about that. And the foam last's a "lifetime"?

    I've never stuffed this much into one bathroom, heated floors, that's a giant heated towell bar, three medicine cabinets, 2 kohlers 1 robern, 1 lit makeup mirror, and the toilet seat has a remote.

    There is a toto toilet that can sense if you need to pee or poop and adjust the seat.

    You can also clean you.
