Sprinkler System Installed

We decided to have the sprinkler system installed in both of the yards because I was drowned with tons of math online homework early last Fall and I didn't have time to water the lawn. The grass nearly died. Richard works during the day and needed to rest when he gets home from work. We had the system when we lived in Post Falls, Idaho and loved it.
Someone came to spray the paint on the grass to show where the ulitities were under so the workers wouldn't dig breaking the pipes the day before the installment was started a week ago.

The day after the intallment was done, the technican came and intalled the ESP Modular Controller on the wall in the garage. He also installed the small Rain & Freeze Active Sensor next to the controller and an antenna on the side of the roof next to a TV dish. It shuts down the sprinkler system when its rains or freezes. The manager came and showed me how to use it.




We are very happy to have it done so we could sit back and relax. The grass won't be drowned with too much water when I forget to turn off or move the sprinkler. I left it in the back yard on all night last Fall.
The lawns are messy when the installment was done and we have to wash our dog's paws by putting one by one into the pail of water and towel dry them before she gets inside.
