Butrfly's Wonderings

Finally got all the little puzzle pieces of tubing and drippers put together. My fingertips are numb from all that pinching and squeezing. It's going to work out well enough to keep year 'round and not just when I'm on vacation. I have enough left over tubing that with the purchase of a dozen more drippers and another timer, I can probably hook up a temporary drip system for all my houseplants when I group them all around the kitchen sink for my vacation this month.

Quite an ingenious system for watering if I do say so myself. Even placed a dripper over the bird bath so the birds will get continuous fresh water each time the system comes on. I'm now trying to work out the delicate balance of how long and how frequent to have the system on. It took three hours for all the containers to get wet enough for water to seep out the bottoms, so I'm figuring one hour a day every day should be good. If not, I'll go for 3 hours every 4 days next.

My brother had some good news in his job hunting. He's been called back for a second interview and is pretty confident he'll get the job. They're already talking salary expectations. Hopefully his knees will hold up so he will do well there.
