I will see if I can get 2 zones running at the same time.

I do have a trickle zone that runs the front yard plants on a drip system. I imagine my pressure would be fine on that, any issues you guys see with running a regular sprinkler zone with a drip system?
people do this all the time, but they shouldn't
But
how long are you going to stay in the house????

sticking a wire 6" in the ground isn't all that hard as long as it's not going 400 feet.

also, if there are extra wires in the box, they may be in a junction box just below the clock. (pretty common not to bring them all the way in, or fold them back as they get in the way when wiring the clock, but they are actually there)
