About three weeks ago I notice that one of the hoses in our little backyard garden was leaking.
Nothing crazy, it had just become dry rotted and needed to be changed out. But as I tried to remove the little hose I snapped the spout on the head of the thingie that feed all the other hoses.
So this meant a trip to Home Depot, but to no ones surprise they did not have the one I was looking for. I ended up buying a different one that I thought would work just as fine. I got new hoses, caps and a candy bar….because of course you cannot make it out of Home Depot without buying candy!
I get home change out the head, replace all the houses and turn on the water. Come to find out the head I bought was designed for the slow drip feed type and not the free flowing jet type.
So this now this meant I was going to have to go and search through Amazon to find what I needed, and guess what? They had it, shit….they had several types and styles of the unregulated water flow heads I was looking for! The only draw back was it was going to take three days. So, with order in place I left everything until the new head came in and I got the motivation to start again.
Week three: with new head in hand and a nice cool dry day to motivate me, I was off to the races again!
(This was the mess I left three weeks ago)
This time it was an absolute success, hoses attached water tested and mess cleaned up, we have yet another adventure in home ownership under our belts!
