Our new automatic sprinklers are currently being installed.

They have detectors in them. They read the amount of moisture in the ground and only go off each day if the moisture content is below a certain amount (i.e., not if it is raining or has been raining).

How freaking cool is that?

Pretty freaking cool. Meanwhile, at NewMexiKen’s the doggone plastic pipes keep cracking.
