The Fix.

We hit the line pretty well on this one!  Nothing a little duct tape and some 30-weight ball bearings can't fix.

I was a little daunted by the thought of fixing the UG sprinkler line, and even looked into hiring it out.  However, after consulting with some Real Men and figuring out the materials I needed, I gave it a shot.  Turns out the worst part of the job was finding a store that sold UG sprinkler line in 5' sections (Menard's does, and you can Save Big Money while you're there), as opposed to 50' or 100' sections like most big-box stores.  With tools in hand and my trusty side kick C-man, we tackled the job in about 90 minutes.  (When it didn't leak no one was more surprised than me!)
