I called today and the sod is not coming Saturday. The man said that it will probably be next Saturday instead. This is fine as I have plenty to do to keep myself busy, but the real problem at this point is that I am either going to have to leave myself open to this same situation for the next however-many weekends, or possibly take another vacation day to put the sod down during the week.
The upshot is I have a little more time to go OCD on getting the leveling just right.
I have about 50 things I need to paint, so I think I’m just going to drag them all out into the carport on Saturday and do that. It’s supposed to be nice, but I guess they can’t cut the sod when it rains which means they probably wouldn’t be cutting until Saturday at the earliest, anyway. This sod stuff, I just don’t understand how it works as far as the timing of the cutting and the laying. The guy actually laughed when I called and said, “I’m supposed to be getting sod on Saturday and I can’t remember how this works with the whole rain/no rain thing,” so they must get that a lot.
And I think I’m going to go up to Urbana on Sunday and go to the Flea Market with my dad. Yay!
sod it all!
ReplyDeleteYou are putting so much work into this! It's going to pay off when you have a really awesome yard to hang out in.
