    Decided to treat myself (rare) to a Subway sandwich for lunch.

    They were out of roast beef -- until Wednesday... o_O

    I said I really didn't want to wait that long and got an Italian something or other.

    :hungry:

    Wrong way to think about that…. More work should mean more money…
    Is your boss gonna suck it up and take your overload?
    Shit may roll down hill… but there’s plenty of sides to a hill and this one isn’t mine. I was looking for a job when I found this one…

    I’d love to help you out but don’t think I make it there in time.

    What size compressor are you using?

    This one. No, it'll be the same one we've used the last few years, I think it's this one. :) Before my friend bought the wheelbarrow air compressor, it was fun watching how differently the companies I paid blow the sprinklers out. One used the control box on the wall and manually ran each zone, one used jumpers on the control box, one opened each valve at the valve boxes in the yard.

    They all went one zone at a time but one guy, and I don't know how he did it, blew out all 8 zones at once. From the time he pulled up with the diesel air compressor trailer until he was driving away was barely more than 5 minutes. :eek:

    He must’ve got the fitting on before the zones split:notsure:. Sounds like the real deal. Why waste time dicking around zone by zone…

    Add: I had a property that came with an irrigation system. Never had one before so I learned a ton :thumbsup: The one thing I farmed out was the end of year blowout. After reading a too small compressor would blow over the water and too big could blow out the pipes, I thought it was prudent and cheaper to out source.



    Good morning everyone :thumbsup:
