Irrigation Spreadsheets
Below are spreadsheets for various purposes related to irrigation.
This spreadsheet creates an irrigation schedule and does all the water useage calculations required when designing landscape and irrigation in areas under the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles County Planning Department, California. Print out each page of the spreadsheet and include them with your plans when submitting to the county for review, approval, or permits. This spreadsheet is intended for design professionals, assumes you have a basic understanding of irrigation design, and contains only minimal instructions for use.
This is a chart of "official" monthly ETo values for various areas of Los Angeles County. It was prepared by LA County and is used with the spreadsheet above.

How Roosevelt Spent the
Bail-Out Money in 1937!
This is Timberline Lodge in Northern Oregon. It seems fitting to take a look at it today, as it was built during the depression as a WPA project to create jobs. Today millions of people every year still enjoy this National Historic Landmark. Those bail-out dollars have had a lasting impact!
The Lodge in the photo above is buried under 25 feet of snow! I love exploring old hotels and I'd like to show you some of them. Take a free on-line tour of Timberline Lodge with me. The craftsmanship and art make Timberline Lodge one of a kind.

Quick Review: Recommended. This book provides a good background on irrigation, and will help you decide if an irrigation system will be of benefit for you. This would be an excellent book for someone planning to hire a contractor to install an irrigation system. It will provide you with what you need to know to evaluate the contractor's proposal and work. See full review.

The photo below is of the Oregon Caves Chateau. It's one-of-a-kind, and one of my favorites. Built in 1934, it is essentially unchanged since it was built. The exterior is shingled with tree bark. A real creek flows through the dining room. Even the furniture is still original! Please click on the photo and join me for a free mini-vacation without leaving your desk:
