I will be shelling out $$ for sod to be placed. This is for just over 0.5 acre lot with a ~4800sq ft house sitting almost in the middle.

Figure if I am going to put sod down, rip up the grass, put topsoil down, then why not put the sprinkler system in at the same time.
I'm not saying that the job cannot be done, but the singlemost biggest mistake people make is not equating time to money. I always view my time in the context of how I could spend it otherwise... ...with the family, pursuing my hobby, keeping in touch with friends, etc. So long as you are doing this job for all the right reasons then it's fine.

Good luck!

...Still looking for a place to buy parts, if anyone knows. If not I'll let my thread die on the vine.

Thanks.
