Sprinklers

Yesterday the crew finished installing the system that will draw lake water for our sprinkler system. In the picture above, you may see the white PVC pipe stretching down the hill almost 500 feet to the pump submerged in the lake.

This project wasn't cheap. We considered it when the house was built but decided against it on the basis of cost. Well, nearly $400 a month water bills during the summer convinced us once again of the adage -- "the cheap man always pays the most." We figure the system will pay for itself in about three years.
