We did it! We've been talking about it for months, but we finally sodded the backyard! Thankfully, our good friends, Aaron and Shelley, came over and helped out a ton so the job got done FAST. The whole project started when I came home last Monday from work and I looked outside only to see the weeds missing from the backyard (I say weeds b/c no real grass existed out there).
Jeff had ripped up the yard and said, "We're sodding Saturday." Ok...so we're sodding. Tuesday I came home and he had huge holes all over the backyard--making sure no missing irrigation heads weren't missing. He said, "If we're sodding, better make sure this is done right." Ok...so we're digging up the ENTIRE irrigation system just to make sure.
Alright, to be fair, he really was doing a great job. I'm just trying to make the story better. So we spent the week prepping the backyard and our other friends, Wayne and Danielle, came over to rip up the last few patches before the big day. Last Saturday, the truck showed up and delivered FIVE pallets. By the end of the day, we were all covered in our lovely loam and no, I did not plan those black spots so nicely and stratigically placed on my shirt. It just happened. Anyway, it looks great and we're pretty excited about being able to enjoy the backyard now!
