Well this weekends project was laying 5500 s.f of sod. After 11 hours we finally got it all put down and let the watering begin. I feel like a farmer getting up at 4 to start the sprinklers. Thanks to the r00k for picking up and returning the bobcat to the rental place for me. Before and after pics.
