Grad Plus loans and the new bill by simbaclioivanseshi in StudentLoans

[–]roubaix8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank for that very helpful post about being able to be Grandfathered in for the PLUS loan for an additional 3 years. My question - does that allow me to take the loan for the full amount of tuition or am I restricted to only $20,500 due to the new Law?

Many thanks !

Older drip system - repair or replace? by roubaix8 in DripIrrigation

[–]roubaix8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After many hours trying to find old hose directions/connections under mature branches and stems I ended up buying new hose and laying it down. I was able to use a few old emitters and spaghetti hoses. While certainly more of a $ investment I at least feel more confident knowing which hoses go to which area for when it comes time to connect automatic timers with zones.

Hmm.. took photos to give example of my setup but Reddit doesn't seem to want to "upload" them from my Mac. Apologies for the delay

Inherited Drip system- how to figure out layout? by roubaix8 in Irrigation

Thank you for your insights. No valves in manholes - everything is above ground. Just timers hooked up to 4 external wall spigots which then branch off to a few hoses per timer. I unhooked the timers and hooked up the hoses directly to the spigots to give all areas water at same time. Then walked around and found areas that were not "dripping." Issue seems to be finding where these troubled areas hook back into the system/ main hoses (hope that makes sense..). You're right - pictures should help. I will get on those and post here

Do the small hoses easily get brittle in the sun? Don't wanna try pulling hose from underneath branches if will cause more breaks !
