As you can see, I found my camera. The lawn looks a bit patchy at the moment of course, but anything is better than the dirt yard we had before. I don't know if the sod layers were still half asleep when they did our lawn but some areas have at least a 2 inch gap between the pieces. So I have been praying for rain now every day, but alas the FSM isn't listening to me and just sends dark clouds overhead to taunt me, the bastard. So it is a waterin I go. The backyard is easy, but down the sides of the house I have to manually do it with the hose and gun. I have been developing a system where I set up the sprinkler in the back, and do the sides and front manually. I just have to work on my technique a little I think. I have no freakin clue how long or how much to water. The instructions they left us are of course vague as all hell "use a sprinkler" gee thanks. O well, we shall see if the lawn goes green or yellow :)

We Have Grass!!
Well I guess I should say, "We have a Lawn", or every pothead in the neighborhood will be in for a visit.

Hi there,
My goodness things are really moving along. Love your comments.
You can always do what I did once and forget you have the sprinkler on so it was going all night. Nice lake out the back by morning that is for sure.
