As it turned out, I wasn't sole turfer (thanks the gods for that). I had sprinkled lawn starter and raked it in. The Empire Zoysia came on two pallets - 40 metres on each. I had only laid a few rows, when Stephen dropped in after helping Richard lay his turf, complete with the lil machine. He did a quick run around with it and flattened it all out better than we had been able to do; course the lawn starter all ended up where my driveway is gonna go - and doesn't the nutgrass love it! It took a couple of hours to do the lot. I was extremely grateful for his help. I slept well that night!
So a month or so on, the lawn is settled in and had it's first mow awwwwwww. We could also take down the fence keeping Bear off and he can now happily crap on it.
The sub division crawls on. The sewer and storm water are finally done, and all blood money paid to the Qld Govt via Dept Housing. $10,000 bond for a year, $2,000 to step foot on their property and an insurance policy costing $1,250 for a day's work - and the tenants don't see a cent of it. The electrical work was completed last week and I now have 3 green boxes out the front. Water is scheduled for 30 October.
And tomorrow ... they start to demolish the old house.
Sometimes the Kanga couldn't cope ....
Oops!

And the picture of the lawn? Hopefully of a spot without the Bear-poo!
