We got grass!!!!! :) :) :)

Travis had taken the trailer down to Moab about 2 wks before we got the sod and because he was gone, I had to try to get the final grade done on the yard. Thanks to a few of our neighbors, we were able to get the yard ready for sod and on Friday, June 13th we finally had sod delivered!!!!! We had 19 pallets and each pallet had 500 sq ft on it just for our yard (front & back). We all first went and helped our neighbors accross the street lay the sod in thier back yard, Heather made lasagna and we ate, then we headed to our house and got the entire front yard done in about an hour, everyone wanted to do the back yard, but I thought we should wait until Travis got home so he could help! The neighbors that live to the East of us had sod delivered also (there were 3 homes that all ordered sod to be delivered at the same time so we could split the delivery fee) and they were laying it by themselves, so we all went over and got thier yard done! Saturday we started laying sod in our back yard just after 10:00 and we were done by 12:30 and then I BBQ'ed 24 hamburgers and 20 hot dogs for everyone who helped out! Between all 3 yards, we had 35 pallets delivered which is 17,500 sq ft that we ended up laying in a matter of hours!!!!
