Mud everywhere

 We had a sprinkler pipe leak by our front porch.  This morning Jaron, Nathan and I started working on it to fix it.  I'm thinking that this would take us a couple of hours at most to fix.  I'm always wrong when calculating the time on these things.   We (Nathan) dug the hole.  It ended up being the sprinkler cap came off.  All the parts were ok......just the cap came off.  So we cleaned it and put it back on.  Turned on the sprinklers and it blew off again.  I found the pvc glue so we glued it back on.  Waited and then turned the sprinklers on again.  This time the whole pipe blew off.  Both Jaron and Nathan are digging a foot away looking for the connection.  There is water and mud everywhere.  Even after sucking as much out as we can with the shop vac. 

 We find the pipe, clean it off, glue, attach and wait for the glue to dry.  Turned the sprinklers on again and the cap shot off again.  Our next door neighbor had come over and was running to the store to get parts for his sprinklers and bought us a new cap..... so we re-cut the pipe and glued the new cap on and waited.  It worked with only a very small leak.  Covered everything back up.  Total time......4.5 hours.
