I added an irrigation line to the orchard. Nice! … but I made a mistake. What? a mistake? yes yes… sometimes I make mistakes… Ok, I am a mistake maker. Now that you know that I’m not perfect here’s what happened.
I thought it would be cool to run six hose connections to the six rows of trees. I also thought it would be cool to reuse some items that I had laying around so I could save some money.
The original plan was to put a regular hose bib for the connections… so I did. There’s part of the mistake. The other part of the mistake was that I used an eight inch sewer pipe cut into sections for the “holes”. This is nice except the angle of the hose bib doesn’t allow for the hose to connect without crimping inside that eight inch hole. Take a look at this video to see what I’m talking about.
Now… I couldn’t leave it like that, right? Of course not.

What a beautiful fix! If you are going to be imperfect, you should at least know how to fix things well, and you obviously do. Me — I couldn’t have done it that well. I would have had to call YOU to come over and fix it!
Thank you for that wonderful compliment 🙂
