After a long time we finally have a grassed backyard.
The sod came on Tuesday and since I knew Andrew couldn't help Martin lay it after he got home from work ( he was playing frisbee ) I thought I would get started. We had ordered 300 rolls and think I did over 100 of them all by my lonesome. It was hard work but I enjoyed it.
Martin came home and then Henry and the two of them got the rest done at a pace so much faster than mine.
Now to just water the heck out of it. We will see our waterbill increase but it is worth it to keep the grass alive during this dry hot spell.
The fall that Laura had moved out we had a decidedly lower water bill. The city had been working on the waterlines out front for over a month and hooked everyone up individually bypassing the main water lines and the water metres.
So our water bill showed no water used. Not a drop.
This was so disconcerting to the water company that they called us and asked us if there was a problem. Were we getting any water?
The problem was that they got Karen on the phone.
"Are you having problems with your water? Our records show that you aren't using any water at all"
Karen's explanation to the woman was this.
"Well Laura just moved out and she always takes a lot of showers."
Enough said.
