Prepping For Winter...Box Elder County-Style


 When we put in our sprinkler system last spring, we were told we needed to make sure we cleared the lines with water before things froze. The only problem was...

We'd never done that before.

Thanks to a kind (and wise...) neighbor, we were able to prep our pipes for winter. First, we needed an air compressor. We chose the pumpkin spice model. Next, we had to figure out how to use it. This meant, I had to open the valves to push air through the lines instead of water.

It took a few practice runs, but eventually we got as much water out of the lines as we could. It was a satisfying gurgle. 

This move has been a real eye-opener. This is just another thing for us to learn as home owners in Box Elder County.
