Arlene: Yes I did not give quite enough info there did I?:) My hens and chicks look shrunken and the the leaves that are left are yellow and spongy looking. I cannot decide at this point if I should toss them and start over to rehabilitate them in some nice potting soil in a kinder spot in the yard. For sure they got WAY too hot out there with the soil being I belive too heavy. Since I was worried they were getting cooked (which they were) I believe I applied too much water. Wired: Good thoughts definitely. I believe this weekend I am going to pull the hens and chicks, paint the wheelbarrow, move it to the side yard, fill with potting soil and re plant. I will try the hens and chicks there and if they do well probably add more sempervivum's and sedums. Thanks Bigjack. If I don't do that this year might try next spring. Kate

cmt, There are many YouTube videos illustrating various portion of what you need to do. I don't believe in doing shortcuts because it means coming back and revisit the problem sooner than never. Here is a list to do and materials. 1. Dig a big hole, enough to be able to bend the pipe line in the hole. 2. Cut out the broken part with a hacksaw blade or a pvc pipe cutter. 3. Buy a new slip/slip/threaded tee. Threaded side is for the riser threaded nipple. Glue tee to one side of the existing line after sanding and applying primer. 4. Buy short piece of pvc pipe, buy a compression coupling fitting for your size of PVC pipe. 5. Glue the piece of pipe into other side of tee. Watch the videos gluing pvc pipe and pay attention to the little things (primer and beveling pipe ends). 6. Cut the pvc pipe piece to about an 1" to 1 1/2" from the existing end of the pipe. Bend the pipe just enough to get the compression coupling on the pvc pipe and then slide the coupling into place on both pipes and tighten down. 7. Place a new riser on tee and remove the heads of that zone beyond the riser and flush out the zone. 8. Replace all the heads before burying the compression coupling. Run the system and check for leaking compression coupling leaking. If all is good cover and sod. GL Aloha

Your condo RR will spell out exactly who will be responsible. I have been in one condo where everything within walls is the condo association problem and a second condo where everything from where pipes/electrical/plumbing where the item enters the condo is held responsible by the owner. In second condo if the MAIN part of the plumbing needed fixing it was condo responsibility. If the replacement was AFTER THE BRANCHING OFF and served only your condo it was your reponsibility. Read your RR.

If you're going to mix concrete, haul bricks and rocks and stuff like that, you'll definitely want a metal wheelbarrow. When a previous one finally gave out I got a nice plastic one. but it did not work well to mix or haul concrete in, as the whole bed and handles would wallow precariously under the weight. You could easily lose the load. I've hauled a lot of pavers, too and a metal one almost barely holds up to that. Plastic wouldn't have a chance. A plastic one would be great for hauling plant debris and light loads, though. Also, I'd recommend getting a 6 c.f. one if you're doing concrete. Anything smaller is not enough room for mixing. If you have a Tractor Supply, they are a pretty good place to buy a wheelbarrow from. I would also recommend staying away from the professional contractor grade wheelbarrow if weight is a concern. They're sturdy but for everyday use most are just too heavy. Because of heavy loads, I prefer the pneumatic tire, but then I have an air compressor on standby.
