Sod Summer: Part 4

This afternoon Tal and I rented a sod cutter and spent 1.5 hours 

cutting and rolling the sod in our front yard:

 

The sod cutter was heavy and cumbersome, so
Grandma Barbara (seen below) 

and I took turns pulling it while Tal pushed and directed the machine. 

Obviously, Barbara wasn't prepared to work in the yard 

when she put on her high heels this morning. :-)

This week, Tal and I will dump the sod in 

Tal's truck and then take it to the yard waste landfill.

(Thankfully, a couple friends and neighbors have 

already taken some of our old sod for their yards, 

which makes our job a lot easier.)

While Tal and I worked in the yard, Savannah entertained herself

 in the garage by eating applesauce and watching Doc McStuffins on the iPad.

She was such a good girl!

If everything goes as planned, Tal and I will put down compost 

and sod in our front yard within the next couple weeks:

Tal and I are making progress as revamp our yard: 

• Remove the 5 holly bushes in our front yard
• Repair or replace in-ground irrigation system
• Remove sod in front yard 
• Put down compost
• Lay down sod in front yard
• On both sides of our house, remove grass and weeds
• On both sides of our house, put down landscape fabric and mulch for weed control
