What do you mean I haven't blogged in 19 days? Wow! Time has flown this month. Kit now has 4 teeth with two more top teeth not far behind.
I know I promised pictures of the lawn with grass in it, and I have some, but I ended up just taking pictures of Kit (like I always do- she is my cutest kid). :)
Anyway here are some pictures. Enjoy!
OK, so the sod showed up at 3 P.M. on Thursday (Brent took a 1/2 day so he could work on it). The sod only lives about 2 days in the stacks. The stuff on the bottom chockes itself with oxygen, and can't get the CO2 it needs.
So we get 10 giant stacks of sod on palletts. The guy was nice enough to spread them around the lot so we didn't have to haul it from the front to the back. (And when I say "we" I mean Brent & our neighbor who helped). ( I would put his name, but I am having the darndest time trying to spell Shawun, Sean, Shaun, Shawn.... Whatever it is, the right way.
So here's Brent lifting the sod. It was cut in 1' by 2' rectangles. (isn't it odd, I was going to put "squares," but seeing as how they weren't square I had to change my word choice).
First you pick it up, put it on the ground, Bump Bump...
Any yes, it was that cold that morning, Brent had on gloves and a ski cap.
2 days & 20 man hours later it looks good!
We mowed it for the first time last week. We borrowed our neightbor's push mower, to see if we wanted to get one ourselves, it took about 1.75 hours to mow trhe whole thing, but that grass got LONG in 2 weeks. The seams are pretty much gone now, so it really looks nice.
