This morning I declared war on my underground sprinkler system; replacing a head and fixing a leak. I was wounded in the intense battles that ensued, but in the end I was victorious

Keep up the good work.
I fix my own also. You just never know what you're going to find when you start digging. I moved here 4 years ago and so far I've replaced 43 sprinkler heads. It never ends.

That picture is priceless, and spot on in my recent experience. My big issue is when rooting around trying to fix 1/4" dribbler feeds am I going to come up with a hand full of scorpions.
It's only mud... least I hope it was!

LOL ! Yes it does. Changing a head is not too bad; but repairing a leak down in the slop, is a PITA !!!

NO GLOBAL WARMING, THE EARTH IS RISING.
7 Zones, over100 heads! I spent most of March/April on my knees. Tree roots got some lines, lawn mowers some heads, all heads needed a good cleaning & most a height extender. MANY trips to HD for pvc connectors & glue. My knees still hurt.

You look marvelous! Place that photo in the garage near the sprinkler distributor system.
Just turn the system on and stand in the spray, you will be clean in no time.

WOW! I thought it was a pain to keep up with 4 zones and 29 heads.
The ones I've not replaced are probably full of sand, but as long as they spray...they'll stay.
I looked like that the last time I power washed our trash cans. Hopped into the shower quick after that.
