Imagine my surprise when I walked out in the yard the morning of Nov.18 and found this totally destroyed! Apparently some animal 'critter' had a craving for vinyl tubing and ripped the tubing to pieces that night. Tooth marks all over the tubing about the size of dog or coyote teeth and sections pulled clear off the multiparts! Luckily, no insulators were damaged. I only wish that I would have left the water on with the valve at the far end closed. One bite and that critter would have gotten a face full of water at full pressure!! I will now have to go either underground or overhead in this section. For a link to my original post in 2008 with more pix of the line see, [id=209071708]
