After 6 1/2 looooooong months (plus 3 1/2 in the apartment), we finally have a yard! Well, half a yard so far, but the rest is germinating (hopefully) as I type! This weekend we had a Sod Blowout and did 3 yards in two days. Friday afternoon, we helped our neighbors Chris and Shannon lay their yard. When that was done, there were nearly 4 pallets left over, so a nice construction worker working on another house on the street agreed to fire up his forklift and move the pallets to our house. We got them laid just before dark and ended up having enough to cover the whole front yard. Saturday morning after Preston's football game, our friend Todd came over to rototill the back and sides with his tractor while I helped lay sod at our neighbors Chris and Aimee's house. As soon as theirs was done, the rest of our sod was delivered and we moved the "party" here. We laid the sides and a good portion of the back while Todd drilled seed for the rest. We finally finished up about 6:30 last night. Today I have pain in muscles I didn't even know I had, but the finished product is fantastic! The kids thought it was Christmas - they were thrilled to finally have grass to play in again!
