Flood! Ahh

Well July 8 I was visiting a friend at the hospital & Thomas was at work, Alex calls me and says that there a leak in the irrigation pipe. So I told him to wait a minute & I would be home in a minute, Thomas was in Fort Mohave so I was going to try and fix it before he got home. I asked Alex if it was just a little leak and he said it just leaking a little, well as I drove up Alex & a group of 5-7 boys were playing basketball, and the "little leak" was shooting the wall 15 feet away. I asked him"This is a little leak?!?! are you joking?" I sent his friends home and placed my hand over the hole that even I could not stop the water. Also the irrigation cyliniod had been hit by the basketball and was also shooting water. My neighbor turned off the water. Alex maintained that the basketball hit the cylinoid & that the the hose (10ft away) just started shooting water out. Needless to say Thomas was very unhappy when he arrived home.

We went to Home Depot to try & find supplies ti fix it, we had to dig up the irrigation tubing, well actually Alex had to dig it up! Thomas glued, taped, & covered up the hole, fixed to cyliniod and went to bed late that night. Recently Thomas, Lund, & Michael have been getting up early to run, or bike & lift weights,well apparently the street was covered in water along with the front & backyard, we had not fixed the leak.

Thomas woke Alex up to redig up the whole but first took him to the backyard & said look in the backyard. Alex came back in & said I don't see anything. Thomas says you see nothing? Alex replied nothing but water. DUHH!!!! This made Thomas a little angry, but they turned the water off & went & bought more supplies. The cyliniod is now fixed, and we re did the tubing but that night the ground was wet, so we had to turn off the the watering system, so Alex has to water the plants with the hose until we permanently fix the irrigation tubing. I'll keep you informed!
