I have been digging up and replacing drain pipes in my side yard. The electrical wiring from the sprinkler controller in the garage to the backyard valves runs thru this area. I noticed that my backyard sprinklers suddenly weren't working. I examined the wire ( brown plastic covering with 7 small colored wires within ) the full length of the side yard and discovered one location with two suspicious crimps in the cover. I cut open the cover and discovered that 3 of these small wires were severed and 2 of the others were badly nicked. One of the cut wires actually broke off. The wiring is taunt. That is, there is very little slack in the line. No way can I bring the two ends together to splice. It looks like I'd probably have about a 3 inch gap to deal with once the ends are ready for splicing. What DIY options do I have ? Thanks much !
