Going to get hot here too! I decided several years ago not to irrigate any longer. We're hooked up to city water and it costs thousands per year to run our irrigation system. Brown Grass it is! I just don't see the sense in it for us having almost an acre of turf to irrigate.
We are going to see where we stand financially at the end of the summer, then maybe make a decision on the other rooms in the house that we didn't carpet. Still considering hardwood there.
We have two meters at our house because we have a sprinkler system. I have never used it since we moved in though. If my grass is greener it just means I need to mow more. We have actually done a lot of changes, so I have a feeling half my sprinkler heads are pointing in the wrong direction or wouldn't even work anymore.
