850 is way big. Ours is like 75. Some people floated the idea to turn it into an HOA so they could gate it. A pool would be awesome but with 850 houses you’d almost have to schedule your time to play. I really don’t have issues with anyone else but wish I didn’t have to look at all of this guys stuff. It could be worse though.

Didn't you accidentally set your fence on fire recently? Maybe the fire could just "accidentally" get out of control in his backyard next time?
To add an HOA to your neighborhood you would have to have 100% approval by the residents. It’s impossible.
Yeah, you could be in his shoes having to hear a bunch of loud young kids running around the yard all the time, and listen to a loud lawnmower of a guy who cares for his yard too much.

They likely pay by weight for removal? I'd imagine they save a few bucks burying junk like that in people's yards. I watched a guy do that in an adjacent house in the subdivision we lived in from '97-2003 in West Jordan. Wondered how much crap was buried in my yard

Concrete in a dumpster is technically on the no-load list of dumpster items. At least for all the dumpsters I know of.
But yes that’s just sloppy. That’s the “next guys problem” mentality.

So you're saying I shouldn't go to my builder's active site up the street and throw it in their dumpster out of spite? There are a few dumpsters that are closer... but spite.
5 years funny though? It gets old.
Yesterday and today. Rented a trencher from HD and trenched until I could trench no more. Really it only took a couple hours. The pic only shows like 1.5 of the trenches but it’s the only one I took. Then I cleared the trench connections and where I had to lift up over pipes and drains that I luckily remembered the location of. Today I dug out the hole for the boxes, built the manifold and connected the main and the front sprinklers that I kept.

Who knew you were so blue collar
It’s just cause I’m cheap. There’s still a broke ass XJ guy in there somewhere.
The trencher is my least favorite equipment rental to date but it’s still worth it. As far as building a sprinkler system goes, it sucks but it will be nice to know how everything was done.

Finally got all the painting finished on the shed and well house.
And got started on the new conduit run to the well house.

As of about 11 PM last night my sprinkler system is all buttoned up for the winter but my neighbor sent me this sweet drone shot of my trenches from before I filled them in. It looks kinda cool.
Also I rednecked the hell out of a blowout solution because I didn’t like using the one that involved the backflow preventer. It looks dumb but my fire sprinkler buddy said that’s how he would’ve done it and that’s a big compliment.

I did something very similar for mine, but at our irrigation pump. I don’t have a BFP. I don’t usually blow out lines.. but now I can when I want to. I think I have twice in my life.
