Sod Saturday


This is what it looked like in the beginning.

I know that it looks like I didn't help at all, but I totally did.

The finished product: I am so proud of our new grass!!


This morning Spencer and I woke up with plans to prep the back corner of our yard, so we could put sod down sometime soon. It supposedly used to be a "garden," for the people who used to live here, but I'm not sure they ever used it for that. We just figured we could sod it and make our yard bigger. It was about 400 square feet of nothing but trash and dirt. 
Then Ryan (Spencer's brother) called this morning saying that someone in their ward had a ton of extra sod they needed to get rid of. We had to first get all the weeds out, rodatill it, and level it out with a few loads of dirt, but we got it done and we were able to buy the sod for a way good deal. Amazingly enough, it worked out that we had just enough sod to cover the back corner. I thought this little project was going to take about 3-4 Saturdays and we're done! Yay!! Thanks so much for all your help Ryan and for thinking of us.
