get the donuts

we were in town only a couple days for closing and not coming back
builder said "past 30 days" should not be a problem, just explain the circumstances

the walkthrough was pretty cursory though
Tri-county did ours

Five minutes per zone. You need that much time to try to clear out any dirt that is in the heads and readjust them. You do it on a warm winter day - 70-80 degrees.

I just spoke with our sales agent. According to him, the 30-day warranty is not on the irrigation system (which he said was a full year) but on the landscaping. The importance for doing the walk-through, according to him, is to make sure that all areas are being adequately watered so nothing dies. Initially this made sense to me, but after hanging up with him it occured to me that it would be in TV's best interest to make sure that the irrigation system is adequately watering everything - otherwise, if stuff dies from too much or too little water within 30 days, TV would have to make good on it.

If this is the case, what is the importance of the walk-through within 30 days?
