Thanks for the lesson Dave
Doing sod would have been nice, but, since I am out in the sticks delivery would have been a lot with the high fuel prices this summer, plus I would have had to have everything prepped for it all at once. It so rocky here I wound up screening all the dirt to get a nice rock free soil to level and plant. I can go at my own pace that way, hence the staggered coverage in various shots.
I can look at it and know that literally every bit of soil with grass growing out of it has passed through my hands. My Father in Law bought this property in 71, the year Dyan and I got Married, we have lived here or close by since 77, and owned it outright for the last 10 or so. I was an Army brat, so wound up going to 17 different schools thru Hi School, So having a place with roots is really important to me. THe school my kids started school in is 2 miles down the road, so theres a lotta history here, plus theres room for the grands to play when they come out
