It's Finished. We have it done, we layed sod yesterday and our backyard looks amazing. We have been working at it since the beginning of may. I really thought that it would be quick and easy and we would be done with everything by the end of May but boy was I wrong. I never realized how hard of work doing your yard was till I started my own. Since our house is 23 years old and no one has ever done anything with the backyard the soil was really hard and this house was the last one to get built so everyone but their rocks in our yard let me tell you we had a great time. All I have to say is that I am very great
ful that we knew some one who had a bobcat, we used it alot. We started the beginning of May with leveling out the back yard and getting rid of all of the weeds let me tell you we had a ton. After that we did trenchings boy was that fun. We cut roots, killed trees (kind of), cut power, cut the cable line ( while you are reading this yes we did call blue stakes). It took 2 weeks to do all of the stuff and then on to sprinklers boy was that a job, but I am so greatful to have sprinklers because I was sick of pulling a hose around the yard to water everything last year. Finally after it seems like forever we were able to do sod yesterday. We started putting all of the sprinkler heads on on thursday and we fininshed that up when Aaron and I got off work yesterday.
Josh came over at about 3:30 and him and Aaron started laying sod. They were by themselves for about 2 and 1/2 hours and then Aaron's parents and Spencer came over. My mom came over to help me take care of Kaitlyn and Madisyn while Josh was outside and Amber was at work. It got done faster then I thought but I am glad that I have family that is willing to help us out when we need them. After we got the sod laid we turned the sprinklers on the water the lawn and Aaron noticed that he didnt uncover on all the way so he had to dig it up and fix it. While he was doing that Ben decided to help him with the pick and the shovel. It is all fixed now and everything is looking amazing. I cant wait to be able to use my backyard and have a party. Here is the finished product.
