Hello All,

I guess I'm more of a lurker. I read the new posts all the time and rarly post as I am new at this and have limited experience. Things are going well for me. I have had work every weekend and some daysafter work (I have a 8-5 job). I have also been able to keep my rate up at about $40 an hour. Only three bi-weekly accounts, but lots of clean ups and making contacts with realtors, contracters, and an investor group! One thing I'm getting hung up on is working with automatic sprinklers. I'm slowly but surely learning how to repair drip lines, heads, etc. I was wondering how you guys learned? Any good sites or books out there?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

There was another one too in the past that was really informative but I can't remember it. Maybe someone else on here can.

Thanks Keith! The site look really good and very informative. $100 subscription is a little steep (ah, maybe I'm just cheap). It's on my radar of possibilites.

Anyone else have any resources or insight to share?
