Thanks A Million!

My parents needed a new lawn, desperately!  When the Jimmy Tree was removed to become Dearborn's Christmas tree a few years ago, the lawn where the tree used to be never grew to anything resembling nice.

My mom called a local nursery and got an outrageous estimate for new sod ($5000!)  and so, instead,  the in-law men and grandsons stepped up to the challenge.

My brother-in-law, Rob, took charge and everyone let him because he is so good at whatever he attempts.  He sprayed the lawn to kill it,  measured the lot, ordered the fill dirt and sod and replaced all the heads on the sprinklers so the hard work that was about to happen would not be in vain.

On a Thursday evening a couple of weeks ago he came with the sod cutter and loosened all the dead grass.  Friday evening my other brother-in-law, Roger, came and helped Rob and the grandsons, Alex, Michael, Joe, and Jake roll up and dump all the dead stuff.

Saturday morning, dark and early, Rob was back pulling the fill dirt in to level the area so the new lawn would look nice.

The guys, including another brother-in-law, Tom, and another grandson, Dan, got back to work Saturday morning and by 11:00 a.m. the new lawn was in and looking wonderful.  My parents were just in awe of them.

Just wanted to give a public THANKS to all these great guys for their hard work and for making my mom and dad very happy with their new lawn.
