Bigger than we planned

Step 13 out of 10 :) My husband is the champion of re-doing lawns. And his trusty side-kick Ruth is pretty handy with a shovel! (notice the "I'm just like Daddy" work gloves!)

Today's project was digging out the underground root system of weeds that had taken over our yard post bug infestation. In preparation for laying sod, we had used Round-Up on the little remaining grass and above ground weeds, but it did no good on the underground roots!

And to think this all started with a tiny bug infestation that got way out of control! Lord willing, next weekend will be sod laying for the 2/3 of the yard that is prepared.
