Adventures in Sodding

We (Brandon and I) are not sure how it happened. Maybe he measured wrong, maybe our multiplication (length X width) was off, but somehow we ordered and received (and consequently paid for) twice as much sod as we needed for our front yard.







Lucky me!! While Brandon was at work I had to scramble to prep the area in the backyard to receive the sod. Which means clearing away rock and debris, hauling and spreading about 5 tons of topsoil and then hauling the sod from the front to the back of the house... and then laying it. Oh the fun I had.

I was in a heck of a mood afterward, but I did feel very strong and accomplished when it was all finished. I'm wondering now how I will ever find an exercise routine that is comparable to that.
