We're done! It took Ben 5.5 hours. I worked for 4.5. Oy! Those rolls of lawn are much heavier than they look. We estimated each at 40-50 pounds. Ben literally touched all 230 rolls and I only 100. We are sore! Ben would load up 8 rolls on the wheel barrow(320-400 lbs) and I 3-4 rolls (min.120, max 250 Lbs). Right now it is hard for me to make a fist. Who needs sleeping pills? All you have to do is install a 330 square yard lawn and it's sure to put you to bed early and sleeping soundly.When we were done, I called the kids and they squealed and ran on the new grass. Es said she had been waiting to lay on it. Oh, the kids did soooo great! They watched a couple movies and were just plain gracious to one another! Ben and I praised them up one side and down the other.
I just keep having these nagging thoughts.......Maybe we should have bought a different kind of grass???? Lets just roll it all back up and exchange it for a different variety. Ha, ha, ha..... I crack myself up! The lawn and I had a conversation. I told it we'd never replace it if it stayed nice and green and full. That was my side anyway.
More photos will be posted as we accomplish more.

Hi Katy,
I just stumbled on your blog from Anna. My husband Eric and I went to PC with Ben and Aaron and Anna and the gang. I just loved seeing Ben's and your family - I still remember at the reunion how well behaved all your little munchkins were sitting in a row waiting for their hamburgers... We have 4 kiddos now too. Life is busy, but I sure love this blogging world! Nice to catch up with your family!
Okay, Chirgwin Family.....I remember you! Eric and....GINGER?????right? I acctulay had to check some of the comments on your posts to remember your name. What a beautiful/happy family God gave you! I know that you must be a Mama of joy because it's evident in your children. Thanks for the comment....I'll look up your blog too!
Keep in touch, Katy
Wow, that looks great Katy..if we put in some sod in our new house, I'll know who to call! (JK)
Katy, that looks so great! I'm jealous of you luscious lawn...what a great week to get it in, my mom says the weather down there has been beautiful (is not HOT).
Katy that looks wonderful! I'm with Es, I love to lay in lush green grass too. You guys did great and totally worth all the hard work. Now, when's the BBQ? hee hee
Darren put in a new lawn when we were selling, just the front yard, a bit smaller! But those are heavy pieces of grass... The trick to keeping it green? Water!! in the morning, so moss and fun things can't grow at night. It was sad to leave our pretty green grass!
It will be wonderful!!!!
Katy, Our internet server was down so I just now checked you blog. The lawn looks grrrrrreat! You and Ben did a great job. Do you need me to come over and give you a massage? I am serious! What a blessing that the kids did so great!!!God is good. You have truly been Ben''s helpmate :)
The lawn looks amazing. I don't even recognize your yard. This is the back right? Love you!
