Test testing

[td25c]

We slipped in over Labor Day weekend & pulled the job off . Used the 1974 GMC with a heater .

Got the valve bank in place .

Thanks for the help & you cats lay low for awhile until this pipe cools off .

You have to use a mirror to get 'er done?

Had to use a mirror on two joints .

The dyslexic lefthanded affliction helped out welding ass backwards .

Filled the system today to check for leaks . All dry and shut the valves off going to the other section of the building & opened the bypass .

Water meter needle stopped turning . We isolated that side & confirmed the leak is under the concrete in that section of the building like suspected .

I have welded a few irrigation joints with a good groove by the braille method and not a single seep. The designers have a tendency to put joints right down on the concrete, or in a spot up against a pad going onto the ground. I've gotten good at taking out a foot at one end and putting it back in the other end to make stuff work.

I've noticed that as well ……

Looks good on paper !



We first looked at some mechanical couplers but there was simply no room up there .

Went with slip on weld flanges & fired up the heater . Hand me the mirror . LOL
