The grass is in....

So my wife and I are enjoying the fruits of our labor,....our new backyard lawn...and it only took us 6 frickin months to pull off. Here's how we did it:
1. Pull out 300 square feet of well established ivey. That stuff grows roots down into the earths mantle BTW.
2. Move 100 cubic feet of clean landscape rock from the backyard to the side yard one frickin bucket at a time.
3. Prune 4 trees and transplant a 6 foot avocado tree to the side yard.
4. Replace sprinklers and sprinkler control unit.
5. Amend our existing crap soil/sand with 30 cubic feet of super dark top soil.
6. Till it all by hand!...and with one pick....my poor lumbar.
7. Rake and roll, rake and roll, rake and roll,..etc.etc.
8. And finally lay out 50 rolls of 90/10 fescue blend Pacific Sod.
9. Water the sod 5 times a day for the first 2 weeks.
10. And just yesterday, mowed the lawn for the first time.

I must say, it looks pretty good. I'd like to lay on it and walk across it in my bare feet good.

I'm off to breakfast...
