Dex and I installed an open sprinkler irrigation controller.

It is choice! The only slight mis-steps are A) We had 9 stations which meant we had to upgrade to 20 stations because the standard 8 wasn’t going to cut it and B) I didn’t get a right proper water proof enclosure so we had to hack the old one up to fit the new guts.

There were quite a few new talents to take care of here. One most important was testing for live 120V AC wires – with my kid watching. No one was shocked.

We managed to get it all done before Mariel got home and we surprised her with some automated, 10 seconds per zone, water works. It felt like fireworks 🙂
