Puerto Rican grass


My dad is re-sodding his house in Rio Grande. This is a slow process as he drives his Toyota Rav-4 to the grass place which is about 10 miles away, buys 38 blocks of sod and plants it. He's done this quite a few times. He prefers to take his time and not pay someone to do this for him because they won't do as good a job as him. Isaida and I took one trip w/him and filled my rental Mazda 3 with sod. Isaida returned later w/another 38 blocks. I tried to convince him to get a truck load of sod to get the trips over with. He vehemently said, NO WAY. He's in no hurry to finish the job. He sez this is a good therapeutical endeavor for him. Plus, if he finishes this project too soon my mother will something else for him to do...
