With all this heat we decided to purchase an irrigation system. Finding a price that was right was not an easy task because no contractor would budge on the price due to the face we are in a drought and they are as busy as can be. We got bids from about 5 or 6 different companies and were all about the same price which was a)shocking they they were all within $200 of each other and b) was extremely expensive. They were all about a $1000 more than what I thought it should cost and that leads me back to the first statement about being busy.
We finally called the people that put in the irrigation systems for KB Homes. They were pretty accommodating and was about the price that I thought it would be ("gulp"). We proceeded with it and I think "we" meaning "I" am pretty happy about getting 8 hours of my life back a week. That is how long I would spend moving the sprinklers around trying to keep everything that was newly planted alive during this drought. I think it was a good investment and the responsible thing to do, but I sure would have liked a trip to Jamaica. Now, I just have to let my yard heal over from the scars of construction.
