I have about 600' of garden hoses! I'm on 6.75 acres of property and need it
for various purposes. Potential fires, and keeping some trees on the
property well watered during our drought like conditions in N. Calif this
summer. 500' are spread out right now. I got tired of moving the hoses around.
Yeah, I might keep it, but if there's a simple solution, I'll do it.
Otherwise, it's a keeper. It was too short for the particular purpose I had
in mind.
