Winterizing At The Bamboo Lagoon

Knocked out a few things today towards winterizing things. Shut off the sprinkler system after fixing the end of the Zone 1 dripline. Used a syphon to empty water out of both valve boxes and hopefully they won't fill up again now that the water to the sprinkler system is off. Coiled up the hose in front and disconnected it from the spigot...which is already insulated. Bug bombed the area under the front porch so I can winterize the pipes that run under the front porch.

Set the pool timer so that the pumps run at night, and put the lightbulb in there. Will put a timer in there for the lightbulb too so it doesn't have to be on during the day. Also put a small netted bag of mothballs in there to discourage our little furry friend from hanging out in there. Might need to strategically place a few more under other decks and porches.

Still have bunches more to do before it gets cold but at least a dent was made in the list today.
