Future directions? Questions?

I'm planning on running the system the rest of the way around the house so that I can put my trees wherever I want to (out of sight for the ugly ones) and so that I can water my mother-in-law's potted plants too, to keep in her good graces. The one thing I worry about is that each component is an additional point of failure. That and the dogs are going to think plastic tubing is tasty stuff and fun to chew.

Also, it's possible to move the system off the spigot and just add another valve to our automated sprinkler system, making the drip system its own zone. This would put it almost completely out-of-sight, but would make it a slave to the yard's watering schedule, since our yard timer just cycles through each zone in sequence. On the other hand, this might be useful for people with a more sophisticated yard timer than we have.

Any questions? Suggestions? Warnings of impending doom?

If I add in anything else neat, I'll post it. Also if anybody is dying for a better picture of anything, don't hesitate to ask. I could even just hook up some heads to show you what they do if you're burning up with curiosity.
