Sprinkler Run

We are slowly inching closer to starting the retaining wall at the back of the yard, but Ryan brought up a good point: to get any sprinkler lines that will run under the wall installed before the wall.  We decided to run two new pipes, one around the concrete pad behind the garage and another from the grass into the middle of the space that will be behind the wall.  Ryan dug the trenches in the evening, and this morning I started putting in the pipe behind the garage.  I removed the old corner piece for the existing sprinkler and replaced it with a T piece, turned the pipe around the corner, put a sprinkler connector in the middle of the run behind the garage, and added the angle piece that will go under the corner of the concrete pad.  But then I had a dogmergency (two very dirty dogs, one of whom did not want to be anywhere near the other, so I needed to lock one out while bathing the other) and called it quits.  It's already hot today, so I probably wouldn't have been able to go much further anyway.
