David’s Cash for Grass Project

Remember the pickaxe and water line thing? Apparently the broken line was to the drip system I still need. I know this because not long after turning it on the other day, a river bubbled up from underneath the blue sage I planted over the obviously unsuccessful repair.

Today was the first day I have worked on the yard since getting sick. My one task today was to do a full repair with no short cuts. This involved removing all the rock I had laid over a few square yards, unplanting the blue sage, and digging a hole big enough to bury a Honda Civic around the break so I could cut away the failed repair and inset a new piece of PVC.
