[Grovenet] Help! Installation of drip watering system.

[John Schrag]

The folks at HP Pipe Supply in Cornelius are great (they were quoted in last
week's News-Times H&G section). There's no stupid question when it comes to
your irrigation queries there. If you can, take in samples of the tubing
you're trying to connect and they can hook you up with a connection or
alternative solution.

Hi Rog,

My friend Dale Wiley sometimes browses this forum.  He owns Landscape 
Specialty Services here in FG.
I bet he could help. 

It looks like his website is down.  But his number is 503-357-7202.
