[Shop-talk] Broken sprinkler line

[Mark J Bradakis]

I've done a lot of home repairs over the years.  My father was pretty 
handy around the house, I got to help him with various plumbing, 
electrical, painting tasks while growing up.  I learned a lot at his 
side. One thing I apparently did not learn, or I just forgot, is that if 
a PVC pipe measures 1 inch on the outside diameter, it is not 1 inch 
PVC, it is really 3/4 inch.  Inside diameter is what is measured.

Oh well, I'll head back to the plumbing place in the morning, think I'll 
just have a gin and tonic while I grumble about life, the universe and 
everything.
