First Sprinkler run of the year...

After another jam packed weekend, the boys finally got to play in the sprinklers for a bit. It warmed up nicely so it was approaching the 80's by Sunday afternoon. We were working in the lawn, getting the rock bed ready for rocks and FIL was measuring out the sprinkler system. The last step of the day was to test the water pressure while they were running, so on they went.





Not only did the boys have a good time, we also were able to find 2 heads that had been buried, this hopefully means that there will be a less work to do as far as re-routing the lines to get coverage over the whole yard.

So this week we are in lawn prep mode. Today Ty and I will finish clearing the rock bed and get it ready for the rocks that are being delivered on Tues.
Tues we are going to shoot one more round of Round-Up on the lawn to kill the mix of grass and weeds that are currently growing.
Then FIL will also be add a sprinkler or two and replacing all the heads.
By this weekend, that will have naturalized and we'll till the whole yard, mixing the old dead in and letting it be natural mulch/compost.
Then we seed and lay another layer of compost on and hopefully we'll get grass!
