Thanks for your feedback, wingless! Similar situation for me, I've tried several brands and - though they all were highly recommended, such as aluminium one head, Rocky Mountain, which lasted a year - they all failed me. Tried higher grade plastic (and non cheap ones, like Nelson), - supposed coverage of the head did not live up to what it was supposed to be which leaves me with uncovered space + it failed quickly (maybe it was a defective unit, idk). In the result I replace heads more often than I should to/want to. Do you have any recommendations? This whole situation is really upsetting.

Does anyone have oscillating sprinklers that are not plastic fussy, fiddly things and prone to leaking? In our previous house we had brass sprinklers (can't recall the brand, they were really old), but they were lost, unfortunately. Now with basic hose, it takes about an hour+ to water the whole garden, and guess I'm getting tired of it. I'm leaning towards switch and forget model. But I can't find non-plastic sprinklers anywhere, and the best option seems to be aluminium. Recommendations, anyone? Just in case, lawn is about 1000 sq ft., it's square. No unusual forms and just two small flowerbeds.

I have used the Ryobi push and riding versions. Rider died more quickly than I would have hoped, push mowers did a fine job but weren’t propelled. Power is middling and is generally good for semi rigid grasses but not for brush or vines.

Hah, female bots to the rescue. Back to the topic, I believe Joe was able to fix this. If not, here are my two cents. We had a mystery smell a couple of year ago, vaguely stinky. Had a mold guy come in, did moisture tests, didn't find anything, but agreed there was a smell. As for plumbing leak detection - turned up nothing. Long story short, the smell was from the wall insulation and we had to replace it. No problems ever since.

^ this Good good word-of-mouth recommendations are much better than any ad you can see. Ask your neighbors, and recommend plumbers/electricians you liked. It's hard to find one, especially if you're inexperienced, so as paulengr be extremely careful with "relatives".
