  68. We built our house about 4 years ago and we have an empty corner lot as far as landscaping goes. We would love to get grass and some sort of landscaping to make it look nice. We have thought about getting an underground sprinkler system many times. If money is there when we start our outdoor makeover, we will for sure be looking into a sprinkler system. We will need it for our warm/dry Alberta summers!

  70. I actually am in an apartment ATM and therefore don't have a yard. I actually don't know how o truly feel on the subject of putting one in , I think that nature does well on its own and conserve water , I had a rain barrel when I did have a yard and used that so I don't know .
