Who'd knew it take so long to install an irrigation system, 4 days, 15- 18 hour days and still going... getting a bit tired
LOL. I feel your pain. I did every inch of mine, I mean all of it, by myself. 47 heads, 9 zones and about 1300 feet of trenching. Took me a little over 2 months working all day on weekends and most weekdays after work till dark.

experience is something learned just after you needed it most
WOW 47 heads, I'm done for this year, I have 5 zones of sprinkler heads ( 28 heads ) and then I have two massive driplines I installed for two more zones, 7 total. I bypassed the pump, as I did not want to drive the pump all day to water lol, and I have about 12 - 15lbs of static head so I just have it running directly off that. I have no idea how much trenching I did, but had a huge trecher and spend about 12 - 14 hours trenching one day. Now 1/2 done, will finish next year for the rest of the yard. It seems to work fine, learned alot, hope it stands the test of time, I will probally do a few things differently next year, as in go deeper then 12 inches, as I had a few runs where I had my main pipe, 2" plus a couple lateral runs in the trench, so I was getting probally less then 6 inches coverage in some areas... we get cold here so not to happy, but if I blow out soon enough should be ok I'm thinking.
