My Husband and I fixed up our backyard last summer by adding plants, building a big lattice thing for our vines, patio furniture, hammock, wood chips and sod. We do all the work ourselves because we love it and we're broke. Anyway, we laid the sod too. I was actually really excited about this part because my Dad is a landscaper. As kids he MADE us go to work with him during the summer and laying the sod at peoples homes were the fun days, for me. The day we laid our sod the weather was like 105 degrees and we were squatting and lifting up like 35 pounds over and over for hours!!! it was hot, we got a great workout and the yard looks great.
Later that day I called my Dad and asked him if I could go work with him on his next sod job. He said he had one the following week. The pictures above are from the job I did with my Dad. My brother was working there too, so we even got to mess with each other throughout the day. It just so happens that the job we were doing was at my friend and professional photographers house Miss Scoppettone. She captured the day and I got another great workout.
I'm really excited about working out this way during the summer...I have to lay my sod as well and a ton of landscaping to do and I have to do it myself due to finances...I'm looking forward to the workout!
