This is a lot of effort! ...in the UK, the sprinkler system was built into the sky when we moved in!

I’m the spider police and we have been looking for that guy for a while. Thanks for finding him. He was wanted for scaring me my whole childhood !!!!

Tip from someone who's done large installs: you never remove the outer shrink wrap on poly and funny pipe rolls. That's how you keep it from tangling. You slowly take it out as needed and have someone "unroll it" in the air as you lay the pipe. Other than that nice work!!

Tip for turf laying - always lay across a slope & stagger the laps. This prevents creating channels down the slope on the long seam which water will erode out while the turf is establishing. Also, a plain old serrated steak knife works great for cutting the turf. The yard is looking good!

PVC is what's used here for most irrigation system runs with flexible used to run in-between heads

I laid my own sod and it’s hard work by yourself but you feel hella accomplished when you’re done and it looks nice

I just finished my backyard project, new sprinkler system and laid the sod last weekend. Man laying sod is no joke! I'm happy that I had my father in law there to help me. But the hard work pays off for sure. Great Vid!

The house and yard look fantastic! Great work! I'm sure your neighbors are thrilled. I am really enjoying all the videos.

You have to use the tiller. That mixes it all together and breaks up the clumps and the roller just leaves a nice seed bed.

Beast! I did my own sprinkler system too and wow its work! Plus u did sod on top of that crazy amount of work for sure! Nice Job

Damn taking me back! I did this all myself solo on my house, fun an rewarding project

Very good job here. One of the best sod install I've ever seen, especially considering how it usually goes/looks on TV building show. It usually looks patchy with a checker board pattern of brown and green, but you had an almost perfect looking lawn right after install. Well done.

Man, sometimes I feel like I do a lot of work on my channel and then I watch your videos! You’re a hard worker my dude.

🎉it turned out beautifully!! Awesome curb appeal. A home to be proud of.

A nice lawn can make such a difference. Well done, as always.

I thoroughly enjoyed your Sprinkler Install, and appreciate how you demonstrated that this job can be DIY friendly! Well done, Sir!

I hope we get a full house tour next video.

One of my favorite videos in awhile. Seemed like you did things right this time. House looks awesome!!

I have to give it too you do well for no experience! I laid pvc pipe, that roll of tubing would have killed me off! Bless you.

I planted grass last summer and now I want sprinklers. Wish I did it in the order you did!

The yard is beautiful

That's the best looking top soil I've ever seen. Sure can't find that in western ky.

The box really is not for access, but locating stuff later. If you ever have to replace a valve your digging it up unless you can a really big box. Not see one big enough for a manifold that size. TX has no frost line, but our backflow preventer is under a plastic rock. I made a insulation bag to cover for the winter and then slide the plastic rock over it. I drain it for the winter. I didn't blow it out, but relieved enough pressure that ice won't break the inside. I didn't do that in the previous year and had to replace the main flow valve for the system and rebuild the backflow preventer. No cracks in the housing, but did have reseal it with new springs.

I just leveled out part of my back yard. 20yards of fill and 10 yards of topsoil. It raised about 6-10 inches.

Just my 2cents here , paint the brick fire place on the roof and the side BLACK to match your trim. They stick out kinda and go go with the modern updates

New vid on a Sunday morning wooooo💪🏻🇺🇸

I don't even own a garden but still love these video's. Dude the house looks great!

epic work, this is fun to watch you progress through these projects!!! house is looking awesomee!!!

Man GREAT JOB! You sir have put in the work and it shows, hell of a job.

The other thing when running zones is you generally want to stay along the edges of the area where possible to make it easier to landscape. Nothing worse than hitting a line when your planting something.

I wish u would have shown the sprinklers n operation on the grass. All n all, u did a fabulous job, on the house, yard, etc! 👍🏿

What I do with my funny pipe wanting to recoil is I lay it all out in as much of a straight line as possible. Then I hammer one end into a piece of wood and put weight on the wood... then do the same with the other side then let it sit in the sun so it straightens out

As a person that recently installed a sprinkler system I would say to just buy way more of the fittings than you need and just return what you do not use. It's way more efficient than having to stop when you are in a grove. I do this for any work around the house. Also, leave the tubing sitting in the sun and it is way easier to insert the fittings.

You are amazing... the best for KZfaq... i watch every video....

The house is looking good! I bet the neighbors are happy you bought that place. Quite the turd initially

adjusting the heads directions open them twist top then turn and insert again so they dont break

Can’t thank you enough!

Love the content. For this video, I wish you used the spray on grass so we could see how it turned out over time

Should of put down a base of stone first then place your sprinkler valves and box on top of it.

Saw u in the family handyman magazine( this past month)

I did a sod lawn in my backyard and wish I had gone with something more drought tolerant and native. Slowly transitioning with native seed over time just to reduce the amount of maintenance and water required.

When I heard you call the trencher a Vermer I knew I was done

Maybe I missed it or you didn’t show it, but I saw you drilling out the saddle clamps that attach the 1/2” pipe to the 3/4” pipe with what looked like a 1/4” bit. Which if so, would greatly limit flow. Hopefully it was a larger bit or you opened it up to 1/2”.

Hit the end a touch with the torch

Just came across your channel, great work. Been sitting here for hours just watching. I don't know if you or anyone has watched any WWE but i cant stop thinking you look so much like Randy Orton. Anyways keep it up!!

Man, its been a hell of a ride! Its all coming together 💪

Big Salute🫡... before y'all critize this man, jus know this entire house sweat equity was done by ONE man, most of you can't go up one flight of stairs without needing a nap

nice work as always! you need to paint those chimneys though! White or black

Dudes biceps are looking large

Amazing! Looks awesome

Hand water the edges of your turf the first week/week and a half

Site one was my saving grace, fittings and pipe were 1/10th the price from Lowes/Home Depot, sprinkler heads were like 1/4 the price.

Great work man! 😄👌

I cant remember mate but did you put a weed barrier under the deck? Only reason i ask, depending on grass type may grow under it, not a big issue, but looks good mate 👍

Normally, you can use a mapp torch to warm up the end and they slip right on!

Lookin good man! Nice job. 👍🏼

I install water meter pits for a living and I can confirm that dump truck drivers and skid steer operators act like it’s their job to destroy meter pits😂 I recommend using wood stakes to mark meter pit when you are expecting delivery 👍🏼😁 they will still run it over half the time 😅🤣

You should hit the pipes with a heat gun when trying to straighten it out, will take a LOT of the work out of it for you :)

I'm really jealous of this DIY job and I'd love to do it myself but I have over 12k sqft of yard!!

Looks very nice

Totally awesome video.

Why on earth would you use galvanized? Also when you go metal to PVC especially underground you should get a schedule 80 nipple cut it short, then attach to a schedule 80 coupling and then go schedule 40 from there. Those adapters with the male thread to female slip that you put on will fail.

Too late for this house, but you really should have a full box around your valves (not just that top cover). It keeps gophers from digging holes to the valves, eating the control wires, and filling the whole thing with dirt.

Schedule 40 PVC should last 100 years but that funny pipe is going to be dead in 20. Ask me how I know. I definitely would not have run funny pipe underneath the PVC. Sucks for the person thats going to be replacing all that

Why not use PEX with expansion fittings?

I thought the tree was going away? How can you use the gate you did last video?

No backyard irrigation?

Good job

PVC pipes are easier to deal with - adapt to poly around curves.

12:19 yup

drought tolerant > sod and sprinklers

Rent a grade box and level it out before you law your sod

Ryobi doesn't make a trencher? LOL ... Looking Good!

Thanks for shring

Aren’t you in the Caldwell area? They don’t have irrigation water to hook the sprinkler system up to?

So the top soil cost you nothing ?

Something’s up with KZfaq. I’ve missed the last 3 videos. Didn’t have a clue they were out and didn’t get a notification, even with having notifications on “all”.

Lol. I'm a Brit. It rains. Plus, I think I'd rather let the grass die, than go through all that. Kudos for the effort, though.

you don't need an expansion tool for the tube?

Hey Mr. Build It, I think you are a little too hard on yourself. You seem to have your Projects thought out pretty well & when you’re done, things have turned out very well. With the grass down, that place looks awesome!!

Why not just do drip? No moving parts to break last for long long time. Also much more economical on water usage with lot less waste.

7:58 I LOL at this part! and I see what you’re doing here too 8:16. Hahaha!

Why do you need sprinklers ? I'm from NZ so it's not a normal thing generally curious

We can assume you called 8-1-1 to have utilities marked before the trencher went into the ground, right? Dig Safe, y'all! It's the law!

Yeah install a back flow so nasty water doesn't go back in the house but use galvanized pipe?!

My son would have just moved out and let the spider have the house.😂

I pour concrete for a living. If you want to redo/ add some concrete there let me know. (Free labor)

2200 for the materials but you have to rent the machines so that's added cost. But overall not bad.

How much do you have invested in this house so far?

Serious question... Did you youtube anything you didn't know about this project?

What’s the neighbor across the street renovating?

Noooo, not funny pipe. Ugh, I've spent years ripping that crap out of my yard.

Irrigreen would save some much water and needed sprinkler heads

New truck?

PVC?

15.42

I spit on it for grip too! 🤣😂🤣

811 before you dig people 🤦🏽‍♂️

Is that crime scene tape in front of the houses across the street?

forgot to drain before screwing the heads ... you even tossed sand into the loop while spiting!
