Sod and Salt





Today Jay and I laid 50 rolls of sod which equals to about 1 1/2 pallets. This was all we could get from the sod company and it kept us busy for a while. It looks so much better everytime we put down more sod or more shrubs. During the sodding, the pool man came by to give us an orientation on how to operate the pool, the remote to the pool, how to test the ph and chlorine and all kinds of stuff. We actually videoed it so we could refer back to what he said. It is a lot to learn. Then he put several bags of salt into the pool and some acid. We are not using chlorine but somehow the salt system turns salt into chlorine. I don't get it but it is a good thing and we are on board with it.

After the sod was down, we got some nice rocks and outlined a future flower bed. Then we picked up sticks and rocks in the rest of the yard.

THEN....we showered and got in the hot tub!!! Savannah and Jordan also got in and it feels absolutely wonderful!! Jordan came in right after football practice and Savannah did a quick change and got in, too. It was 100 degrees and amazing!!
