Ok so can you tell this is the big thing going on at our place. The last few weeks Spencer has been a mad man trying to get our yard done. He's been out there every chance he gets bringing in more dirt and smoothing it out. All his hard work has paid off because last weekend the sod was delivered and the great guys from the ward came over to help lay it down. ** Funny story: Spencer measured and calculated time and time again the amount of sod we'd need to cover the yard. When the guy came to drop off the 11 pallets they both thought that was too much so the guy took two pallets back. That evening when they were laying the sod they ended up being about 2 pallets short. So he had to call the guy back to deliver more sod on Monday. Lesson learned - trust yourself.
Good thing one of the neighbor boys came over to help Spencer lay the extra 2 1/2 pallets because it would have taken Spencer forever and he was racing against the clock because a storm was coming in. They finished just before the rain really started to pour.
Here's a before and after shot. What a difference grass makes!
A special thanks to Adam who we put to work on the sprinkler system in the cold wind and rain, Logan for helping too and everyone in the neighborhood who let us borrow their lawn equipment to get our yard in and done. Well, we still need trees, shrubbery, plants and a fence but I think that's going to have to wait until next year or the end of the summer - gotta replenish the "Yard Money Account"
