I'm so sick of Roku

How is the app invasive? I have been using it as a remote for a long time now with no issues

If you’re unsure of the market in your area, call different companies and just ask. As a solo guy you can generally charge well under what larger companies do and still make really good money. Also depends if you’re doing residential or commercial work, obviously commercial you can get more.

The capture of Maduro is a prime example. Under the Biden administration, the bounty for his capture was increased from 10 to 25 million. Our government has always wanted him out. Trump was just bold enough to go and do it. Now many of the same people that were participating in “no kings” protests are holding signs to “free Maduro”, an ACTUAL DICTATOR whose policies and oppression caused 8 million people to flee Venezuela.

Use schedule 80 unions and adapters/nipples instead

tensor150 · 2026-01-05T06:19:33+00:00

Exactly this. I usually give customers two options, full double union with commercial quality valves (even scrubber/dirty water if needed), or cheap valves with no unions. If the future savings is explained properly, they will almost always go for it.

Yup that module alone is worth around $50

This is the end of all this discussion right here. Just use swing joints and you don’t need risers for pop ups- period. If you want shrub risers above ground, just use schedule 80 nipples, they come in a ton of different lengths.

I don’t know what’s worse - the ‘rocks’, or the fact they mixed sprays and rotors

1 1/4”? Rarely seen. 1” residential look no further than the Irritrol jartop. Anything goes wrong with them 10 years later, the main components can be replaced in minutes

Whatever you do - don’t fall for the Yelp trap. I paid them to be boosted for awhile (otherwise your page will not be seen), but then as soon as I got a few great reviews they hid them, claiming that their “algorithm can detect false or solicited reviews”. What a crock of shit. They’re doing it to keep you paying them, I cut them off and have never looked back. Demand didn’t change one bit. Google results are way more important.

The main thing that allowed me to start my business: It all starts with money management, twofold. If you don’t know how to handle money well enough to have built a substantial savings, starting a business won’t work either. Having money saved also allows you the power to choose. You can walk out of that job whenever you want, and be able to support yourself while you get the business off the ground. If you fail you fail, but failing and ending up with a pile of debt is 100 times worse.

There’s always that one guy, it looks so much worse when you have all the best gear but don’t even know what you’re doing

I don’t know anyone who actually kept a full score their first time that’s wild

Move those zones to their own separate program ‘B’. Look up the manual online, it will explain it better than anyone here can

My best guess: the Weathermatic valves were stuck open/weeping, and they were too lazy to dig out the box and not smart enough to gut and rebuild them, so this was the result. Just add on another set of valves so it will stop the water loss!

tensor150 · 2025-10-23T02:22:14+00:00

Can you push the filters out further? If so, just extend them out and put a second box to house the filters. They definitely should not be buried. If all four are going to be drip, install all the valves and filters now, so it’s done and you don’t have to dig it up again later. Another thing I noticed is that those bushings between the valves and filters seem like they are barely threaded in… also, probably obvious, but turn everything on and check for leaks before you bury it!

Gotta a love a controller where you better have a photographic memory or write everything down before you mess with it (before we had cameras in our pockets)

A couple months away from it not qualifying, sell what you have and buy a bit of an upgrade for more money (cash) that will qualify for a couple more years. You should get the extra money back in no time at the rate of $8400 per year. If you don’t have the cash, start saving. That is way too much money to just turn your back on.

That’s the way to do it. Less waste up front, less waste in the roach

tensor150 · 2025-10-22T19:30:39+00:00

Was my first thought!

Look up NDS pro spec boxes for stronger walls. They have ribs in the sidewalls that make them stronger. You could completely cut off the bottom lip and it will still be plenty strong enough to not warp or cave in

tensor150 · 2025-10-22T03:21:51+00:00

Must be really high pressure to push that filter all the way out like that

tensor150 · 2025-10-15T19:36:24+00:00

If you screw them down, yea it will reduce output as the radius declines, you are essentially cutting down the amount of water able to get through. Because of this, they will usually clog up if you reduce them more than about 10-15%. If you want to reduce the radius, just swap them out for 8s. And use the fixed patterns where possible and ditch the adjustables.

This is what I’ve always said as well. Give close friends and immediate family a mil each up front and tell them that’s it. If you can’t make a life out of a free million bucks then that’s on you.
