Give me a backhoe and some free time & wisdom goes out the window.

If I had started the project, 6 months later I would have been golden. About 6 months after I finished my system, I started manufacturing the control electronics (day job) for the pipe fusion equipment manufacturer, McElroy. When I met with their engineers to start the project, I starting telling them about my homebrew system (& in particular the pex/pvc setup). They shook their heads and laughed. I believe the comment was something like "keep the backhoe handy".
