Threw $60 at a broken irrigation valve in my yard yesterday

Picked up a new sprinkler manifold at Lowe's for $60 and spent the afternoon digging it out in the 95-degree heat. Had a leak that was wasting water for weeks, now my back hurts but my grass is actually getting watered right again. Anyone else deal with ancient sprinkler systems here in ABQ?

$60 for a sprinkler valve sounds like a ripoff honestly.

My buddy Mike bought one of those fancy ones for $75 and it cracked within a month. He ended up just getting the cheap $20 one from Lowe's and it's been fine for two years now.
