Watering the front entrance instructions, tips, and tricks

Ellsworth entrance

• Nick’s house does not have a border so the hose has to be attached and put away each time.
• Next to his house by the pine trees is a blue milk carton with the hose.
• The hose goes 100 Feet – but it only does this if the water is on and expanding the hose.
  • Do not try to pull the hose all the way over to the entrance and then turn on the water, it won’t work.
  • Take the hose out of the crate and it should not tangle.
  • Hook up the hose and let the water fill, then pull it to the entrance.
  • Turn off the water when done, and let the water drain out of the hose and it will auto shrink enough to easily pick up and toss back into the milk crate.
• There is a quick release attachment – If you push the bottom part (Female Part) attached to the Spigot upwards, it will allow you to insert the Male Part on the hose to it.
  
  From there, let the little black ring (female part) slide down and you will hear a click.  The same action will allow the release after you are done watering.

  Do not try to detach if the hose isn’t drained of water.  You will be sprayed.

Rodeo entrance

• At Joan’s house (last one on the corner) the set up is the same except we don’t need to remove the hose.  We can leave it on.
• Water all the plants.  Mulch has been put down on Monday so it should really highlight all the new plants.
• The trees do not need to be watered.
• Make sure after you turn off the water, to drain the hose.  This way it will shrink and easily fit into the milk cartoon

Recording the watering
