Sod Busters, Part 2

Terry has been working on the workshop since he has had a bit of a sabbatical from work. He has gotten many of his tools brought up from the house in town, gotten shelves put in and items arranged on them. Mowers have been tuned and various other projects tackled. Of course, there is a small, well-stocked frig up there too....that could have something to do with the dedication to the workshop projects!

One needed addition was some sort of ground covering in the area in front of the shop. We could not agree on a driveway material - I did not want gravel or any thing like that. I really wanted a permeable paver and found several types that would have been good. Unfortunately, there were none readily available in our area and the costs were quite high.

By process of elimination, we agreed that some bermuda grass would be the best choice for now. My mind flashed back to April 2011 when I enlisted some unsuspecting family members to come for a visit only to find 11 pallets of sod awaiting them!  Their help was much appreciated. This project only involved 3 pallets...and no relatives had to be enlisted!

Rain delayed the sod delivery one day, but a load of river rock did come yesterday and was spread right in front of the workshop's concrete apron. I arrived home from work today to find the sod-laying had just begun.

 Just getting started...


Making progress....


Frankie gets a ride...he is so spoiled!

I didn't get a photo of the finished project, but I will get it posted soon.
