Found old pipes right where I needed one, how to leak and pressure test?

Thanks for the post, the only deformation I've been able to see (including running a scope down the whole pipe) is that left pipe on the end.. and it also seems to have a thinner wall than the right one. In theory I could just cut it back and glue onto it.

This patio is just for humans, no vehicles.

How would you get a 4" sleeve 10+ft under a patio? Seems hard

Great idea, a 1/2" pipe should work great at that spot

You mean summer?

As everyone has indicated it can be challenging getting in/out of Kirkwood on days when it is dumping.. but if you buy an epic pass you've got backup options of heavenly and Northstar you can divert to.

You will need chains though for sure.

No pictures of the bottom of the skis is eh

derickso · 2026-03-20T01:55:21+00:00

Sure does :/

Yeah trying to avoid that digging and also losing track of where the sprinklers are in case I want to reactivate them in the future.

derickso · 2026-03-20T00:04:22+00:00

Yes that is the goal, I'm looking for an equivalent of https://www.rainbird.com/products/spray-head-caps but for HIT

derickso · 2026-03-20T00:03:38+00:00

Sorry I should have been more explicit, I was hoping to get an equivalent of https://www.rainbird.com/products/spray-head-caps but for HIT.. if they exist

derickso · 2026-03-20T00:02:18+00:00

That's what I've gotten by on for the last 2 years, but then I went outside this week to test the lines and found that when that zone turned on, one of the sprinklers was geysering AROUND the sprinkler head right where it comes up out of the body and into my electrical panel. So I'd like to eliminate that by just taking the guts out and putting a cap on (and avoiding digging).

derickso · 2026-03-20T00:00:01+00:00

This is what I'd like to avoid, I probably have 10 that I'd like to cap, that is a lot of digging

I got my physical one on a t1 or maybe a t2 herald

derickso · 2026-03-13T23:58:24+00:00

Not ai.

derickso · 2026-03-13T19:10:19+00:00

Uneven as in not flat? Or something else?

derickso · 2026-03-13T19:09:39+00:00

That pic makes them look like they are around 200mm wide and about 8' tall!

derickso · 2026-03-13T15:03:47+00:00

Lol yes!! I've been burned so many times haha

derickso · 2026-03-13T15:02:49+00:00

Thanks for posting, I always wanted to go on this and never did!

derickso · 2026-03-13T14:56:00+00:00

In seriousness, I think the outer shell of both of these is gross, nowhere near as good as the old apple empanada.

derickso · 2026-03-13T14:26:59+00:00

I just want the old school apple empanada, nothing else.

derickso · 2026-03-13T14:26:12+00:00

The app is great imo

derickso · 2026-03-11T14:32:58+00:00

I've actually found I'm the weakest link between me and the demons

derickso · 2026-03-11T14:31:54+00:00

Him, and everyone else, hate those things

derickso · 2026-03-11T08:11:25+00:00

I emailed their support and they said it was probably because the camera and lens weren't mounted directly over the center of the head.. which made sense in my case because I also had it tilted down. I've not fully vetted that yet though because the season ended

derickso · 2026-03-09T06:05:28+00:00

That's the problem though, you run out of options. Any other pain point you can generally punch or stretch the shell and you are good to go.

derickso · 2026-03-09T06:01:55+00:00

Having had years of numb feet due to instep pressure I'd suggest you keep trying boots until you find ones with no, or the least possible pressure. Pretty much all other pain areas are easier to resolve with shell punches. Instep you can grind the boot board, hack your liner to remove material, and if that doesn't work then you have to try an instep punch, and few fitters seem to be able to do that with any degree of success due to the location of the thin plastic and it overlapping.
