No worries and was not offended. We all make gafs in our online lives.

I did forget to mention it will NOT be pressurized at all times. I will turn off at the spigot when not watering the garden and points along the way. All manual watering no automatic timer.

I thought of the theft aspect and figured I could just half assed spray paint it silver to blend in with the top rail. This on a shared fence inside property line on friendly neighbor side of the lot. I though PVC would degrade in UV and also lower pressure via raised temperature internally...

I hate moving the garden hose. I hate putting it away. I hate reeling it in. I want to replace a hundred foot run with pipe. Above ground. My garden hose runs 8 feet from spigot to chain link fence, then more than a hundred feet to far end garden with some quick connects along the way for other...

In the late 80s and early 90s I started losing thing. I didn't used to lose *any* object. Then I turned 30. Lost several Craftsman pocket screwdrives and plug gapping gauges. Lost a set of keys to my sister's house while she was on vacation and I was taking care of her cats. They didn't get fed...

My bench for the past 19 years has been a disaster. Six feet of bench buried in **** with thirteen more wall feet of **** surrounding it. I took a week of vaction in August to rectify that situation. Here is a before shot and shot midway thru the rebuild.
