The Sprinkler Guild

I was trying to find some information about my sprinkler system when I came across this. I don't know about your town, but this sounds way too familiar.

Or, just do it yourself. This stuff ain't rocket science; but in many cases it is hard manual labor.

You will need a shovel, a manual and parts available from any of a hundred different places.

Why do people hire it done? Well, it is hard work that requires a shovel.

It actually isn't the shovel I fear, but my own complete cluelessness with all things mechanical.

Having trouble with your sprinkler Gee? I am a well of knowledge, what's the problem?

Labor shortage. Try to get a plumber or a carpenter.

Plumber is a skilled trade anon, not labor and Gee has no need of a plumber in this case. If more people were willing to put in the time and hard work needed to be plumbers and carpenters there wouldn't be a shortage.

If Econ 101 answered all the questions we ever ask about economics, they wouldn’t still be giving out a Nobel Prize for the discipline.

I have never installed an irrigation system but I have done a lot of repairs. It might not be rocket science but you can get into a lot of trouble if you don't have a handle on what your doing. I remember a local ball field that irrigated with city water attempted to tie into an irrigation line that drew its water from the river. If they had not been found out people could have been using untreated water at home for God knows how long. Look at the mess the city made with its golf course irrigation project thinking they could do it themselves.

What he is referring to is backflow prevention and cross connection control. Work which is best left to those licensed and certified to do so. While is isnt "Rocket Science" it does have to do with protecting the public water supply and public health.
