Water Woes

I have had nothing but trouble with the plumbing around this joint this week. First off the hose to the water tank busted on monday, then the faucet coming out of the garage starts leaking. We those two issues were repaired fairly easily, The hose just needed to be cut and a new hose end affixed. The faucet was more involved, a pvc fitting split, no problem right? Wrong!!, I had to re-work a foot long section of the pipe behind the garage wall because there wasn't enough pipe to get one lowly nipple on to it.
Anyway cut to Thursday, I was mowing after work and I look back to the tank and what do I see? The hose has split again! I decided to work on it on Saturday when i had more time. Well as I continue my mowing duties I notice a large puddle in the grass near the back porch, You guessed it a busted underground pipe. I had to take friday off from work to get it fixed!! What a week we had around here. On a bright note we got part of the pig pen started.
