Yes, very Zen. And good exercise, if you're young enough. But me, I'd have just found the shutoff valve for the sprinkler system. And actually, something like that happened to me. We'd bought this very old house. With an electrical box that had evolved since ~1900. It met code, but was a rat's nest. So we hired an electrician to bring order. Long story short, we found a circuit that led to an old iron pipe, which had supplied a long-gone outbuilding. The circuit hadn't shorted out, but the pipe was so rusted out that the circuit drew ~5A whenever it rained. Edit: spelling
