I am so excited for the three day weekend you have no idea!! During the week I get an average of 5 hours of sleep so the weekend for me is really important to catch up on both sleep and family time. Three day weekends are great for me because with the new house I just bought comes a lot of work, escpecially the yard (or lack there of)!

 This weekend I hope to rent a trencher so I can dig for my sprinklers. I want to do the sprinkers and sod myself becuase I am a DIYer big time and with the help of Rain Bird, I know exactly what I need to do and what I need to buy (or rent). Rain Bird has this awesome brochure (packet) that you fill out with information like your home’s water pressure, GPM, as well as a 1×10 scale drawing of your back yard. You send the Rain Bird packet(for free) and a week later you’ve got 10 pages of detailed drawings, instructions, and a parts list for anything and everything that you’ll need to do and buy to install sprinklers in your yard. AWESOME!!

So, this weekend is the beginning of my backyard. I am going to take some pictures for before, during, and after so I can take you along the magical ride of dirt and my temper (yes I am very sure I’ll lose my temper with this project and something will get broke).
