DiY Orbit In Ground Sprinkler System with Garden Hoses

I'm attempting to connect a garden hose to a sprinkler system. I'll be upgrading a partially in-ground sprinkler system from a spigot timer to an electric timer with manifold. All while using standard garden hoses, an Orbit pre-assembled electric manifold, and Rainbird LG3HE In-ground sprinkler with Click-n-Go Hose Connect. If you can teach yourself new things, know some basics about lawn sprinkler systems, and have a good idea of how you want to build your setup, then this video should be helpful to you.
