A New Lawn!!

Last Thursday we had 1800 sq. feet of sod delivered!  Jimmy's summer job...and it turns out Pams too, was to dig up all the old lawn and get it ready for new sod.  Mike worked on putting  in a new sprinkler system. We had a big gopher problem in our backyard last winter and Mike has spent the spring and summer killing as many as he could.  We finally went a month or so without any gophers and claimed victory.  Then we called to have the new sod delivered and just before we got it  a new gopher hole appeared.   Mike put the poison down the hole and we think he is DEAD, or so we hope.  The gophers really tore up our yard.  Anywho...we did get our sod delivered and Jimmy and I spent Thursday and Friday laying the sod.  Mike had to work but he did help a little too.  I don't know what I was thinking!  It took me several days to be able to sit down and get up without pain after laying the sod!  Jimmy did all the heavy carrying,  I just rolled it out and did the cutting.  It is way more work than it looks!  We can't walk on the lawn or enjoy it yet but it sure looks nice!

When we were thinking we were almost done we still had all of the side yard to do!
