Okay, I bought some more Scott’s QuickPatch for part of the left side lawn I leveled off with topsoil and applied it tonight.  I put the soil down a week or so ago and we had a major rainstorm which I helped level it out and make it part of the yard.  I put weed and feed down about a week ago and was hoping that the weeds would be dead, but they’re not.  Progress cannot be impeded, we’ll take care of the weeds later.  I’ve sharpened up some nail clippers for Bryn so he can get the weeds. ;)

Hopefully in a week there will be sprouts and in short time there will be lawn.  I love how this stuff works, but it really really makes me want to build a home-owner sized hydro-seeder over the summer.

You can flip through the photos and see the stages from:  Topsoil -> Crushing up the compressed quickpatch -> applied quickpatch -> watered quickpatch.

Oh please! contain your excitement, don’t crowd.  The pics are as exciting as watching grass grow, but I’ll take photo’s twice a week and provide a post in about 2 months with all of the ‘progress’ photos together so you can see the lawn sprout, become infested with weeds, and then get razed with a large blowtorch! :D

Sorry about pics being out of order, my image viewer app plugin is a dimwit.

Not much going on this weekend so I just have some photo’s from the yard and such.  The one photo looking off into the woods, there’s a neighbors house in there, can you spot it?  A week ago I could see this place plain as day, now it’s really hard to see.   The lawn on the peninsula is growing great, I think I should be able to mow it for the first time next weekend, but I’ll make sure it’s at the right height before I do that.   Check out the photos :)   (Click images below for larger pictures)
