For Amber Waves of ..... Grass

So our Saturday was spent installing sod. Two hours into the project we were thinking, 'This isn't so tough.' By the eighth hour we were questioning our sanity in thinking the two of us could install a whole yard.... But we did it, sort of. We were short. Thank heavens the lawn guy said he'd bring more grass and that HE would install it, for FREE! We did a happy dance when we heard that!



Two hours into it.






This is Bermuda grass, which is what they use in the south. You should have seen Wes's face though when they delivered pallet after pallet of this dead looking hay! Its supposed to turn green in the heat, but wouldn't it be sad if we spent our Saturday installing dead grass!



Wes's new best friend, Wilbur the Wheelbarrow. By the end the wheelbarrow was actually squeaking with every move.





Sooooo Close!








See this is what grass is supposed to look like! At least the sides of the house will live.





Victory is mine! BTW after this picture Wes ate an entire Costco chicken! He really toughed this out and worked hard. Poor guy always gets to be the manual labor behind my projects ideas!
