yeah that is what I referring too when I said sprinkler scarecrow in my post !

bad part is I installed that thing one afternoon and then got called out later and when I came home 12 hours later and tired as I was walking up the sidewalk past the flower bed that thing went off on me !!! Scared the bejesus out of me !

Thought for sure I was got by something deadly in the dark........1911A1 was out and 1.5 pounds was on a three pound trigger when I felt the sprinkler hitting me again !

Not for the faint of heart ......LOL !

I have the convenience of having an enclosed entrance to the front door, with the mail box and doorbell on the outside.

Salesmen, street preachers and others who think they have a God-given right to barge right past the portcullis gate to the front door landing get the opportunity to find out where the sprinkler-robot is kept during the daytime. Now I'm trying to figure out a way to keep the thing for freezing in the winter...without having to run warm water in it. I WANT it cold....
