SOD

My backyard has been sodded. It was looking grim for a little while there... till some friends showed up (SOD is HEAVY!)

I picked up the first load and was told to hurry back so I could get my 2nd load. Apparently reserving SOD is much like reserving an airplane ticket - they overbook. So, it was just me and a palet of sod that needed to be unloaded. I made a sod mountain in front of my garage. This sod mountain later turned into something like a gigantic game of Mah Jongg as you struggled to find which piece you could take off next.

Val and I got about 3 rows down when Ken daddy showed up. We did a little raking then. About 2/3 of the way through (and after i ran through the hose) J and Jen showed up to rock out the rest and do the trimming ends (which i am not so good at it turns out). J rocked the trim.

We celebrated with hotdogs.

I gave Ken daddy my left over sod, returned the palets to the palet nazi ($20 deposit on each palet!??!) and I came home to clean up - BUT Val had done all the clean up! ROCK! So I just enjoyed its greeness instead.

Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who helped - all the help made a HUGE difference!

umm...i don't have a house, therefore i have no advice for your sod. i was feeling left out of the posting though, so i had to put something here.

keep the grass alive until this weekend at least - party!!

i wonder if you become more and more of a mean person as you age too. thank god i'm not old like all you guys...i still have some niceness left. note, i said 'some' - i know i have my evil moments :)

apparently, i still can meet girls too, not that that does me a whole lot of good - if i meet any, i'll pass them along to you boys :)

Sod is cool and all, but being 27 sucks.

Yeah, 27 is when you stop meeting women. Crap, your screwed, you never started and now it's over........
