Step 3: Work area setup

Make sure you have room to move around the work area, as you will be doing a lot of walking (mostly in a circle). We setup a ladder with a pipe crossbeam which held the drip hose. This setup didn't work quite as well as we had hoped but did help keep the coil from getting horribly tangled. The frame was setup on a trash can that we filled part way with water to stabilize it from falling over.

The spool unwinding was managed by my wife for the most part and my son helped guide the hose while I walked in circles like a carnival mule.
