Today I took my "closing letter" from Pringle and went to the Post Office in Mount Dora to get our mailbox keys.
I asked to schedule the initial "start up" adjustment of the sprinkler system and was surprised to find that the earliest appointment date I could get was two and a half weeks out. I guess I should have scheduled this as soon as I knew the closing date. However, the ValleyCrest irrigation technician said he could meet with me tomorrow for a quick check for any major problems. I just want to be sure that the plants and lawn are getting irrigation, as I see several homes with brown lawns and dieing shrubs / trees that appear to need irrigation. These are almost universally either homes not yet closed, or unoccupied homes.
I took my hose and watered the new sod section that was installed yesterday. I also got a second quote for lawn / shrub fertilization and pest control. I've got one more to get and then will decide. However, I really don't think I want to go with the first company, who told me they didn't like Zoysia Grass lawns. I think he was setting up for failure.
