The Water Expert's Blackboard

I walked into the garage of our office yesterday to find a box for all the paper that will no longer live IN our office (yes, the dream is slowly coming true), and I was confronted with this giant board full of colorful things. I felt like I had stumbled on a hidden Christmas present. Here is a picture of one side of the board:



And here is the other side:



The Mister didn't seem to think it was any big deal, but he did explain to me its purpose. The Water Expert and his team of irrigation professionals use this to train anyone who does any work on the irrigation systems in Morrison Ranch. This shows how the wiring is supposed to be, how the connections are supposed to be made between the pipes, and things like that. You can see the diagrams of explanation attached next to the various pieces. I've commented before on the colorful fixtures at the pump stations by the lakes; it makes me think these irrigation folks are all such happy people with their bright colors!

Morrison Ranch's irrigation system is run by computer and weather stations that measure moisture, among other things. The Water Expert figures if things get installed correctly in the first place, the system will last longer, and the bushes, turf and trees that are being watered by the system will thrive and need less replacement. More efficiency translates into less cost over time and healthier landscape. Everybody wins.
