SOD!!

We finally have grass! It sure was a stressful couple of days, though. Once it was warm enough we turned on the sprinklers and water came out all the pipes (there were no actual sprinklers yet) so we thought we were good to go. We ordered the sod and put sprinklers on and turned them on... and they didn't work. Sprinklers that were supposed to spray 15 ft sprayed 3 ft. And the sod was coming the next day. Wes spent most of the afternoon and evening troubleshooting with a sprinkler guy and still nothing worked. We tried to cancel the sod order but it was already cut. Then it poured rain so the backyard was a big mucky mess. We had to add two valves to our sprinkler system but we did get it to work. Meanwhile the crew (kind and loving family members) layed sod.

 You can see what a mess the sod truck made.

 We provided pizza and doughnuts for the weary workers. We layed about 6800 sq ft of sod.

Thank you to Stan, Brenda, Adam, Steve, Mom, Dad, Jenny, Kelly, Kristy, and Chris! It looks great!
