He Found It

During the spring of 2013 we removed the juniper bushes at the front of our property. While Jacob and Ward were removing those they broke the sprinkler line that ran through the middle of the bushes. I capped the broken line and put a stake in the ground to mark where the line was so I could tie into it later.

It is now 4 years later and I have tried a couple of times to find that line but with no luck. Earlier this spring my nephew, Peter Weitzel, said if I had any digging I need done to call him because he would like the exercise. So last week I called and he came over this morning. I explained what I was looking for and where I thought the line was. Fortunately he misunderstood me because the line was not where I said it was nor did in run in the direction I told him.

In less than an hour he had found the line, the end where I had capped it, and dug me some new trench so I can extend the line to the front flower beds. I paid him well for his hours work but his uncovering the line was much more valuable to me than what I paid him. Now, hopefully I can stop dragging the hose out to water the front raised flower bed.
