Trish and Dan moved into a great place with a yard that had been severely neglected. So we pitched in when it came time sod in a new lawn. We arrived early on a Saturday morning to find Dan and his folks already hard at work and Trish attending to baby Joe and making sure there was plenty of coffee. Jill helped with baby duties and food prep while Stu helped dig up the yard and prep for sod. The day started with a very light drizzle that made ideal, cool, easy working conditions. After a few hours of labor all the workers were wet muddy famished and ready for lunch. It rained on and off most of the day, but about half way through with the lawn, it down poured! Not wanting to loose steam, Dan & Stu pressed on after a brief photo op from Jill.
Very near the end of the work the suncame out for a bit, but then decided the new lawn needed more rain, so that's what we got. Once it was all layed out, then the sun came out for the rest of the day as everyone cleaned up and ate and drank beer feeling a great sense of accomplishment. Stu loves helping out on these kinds of jobs so he can apply any lessons learned on a future home some day.
