The sod I got was rectangles about 2x4 each. I've also seen the sod in rolls but for whatever reason the rectangles are more popular and so is what most of the places here have. The black dirt that it grows in gets on everything and is almost as bad as black paint trying to get it washed off.

Mine is almost ready for its first cut.
Ours was 2x6 and I covered 650 Sq Feet for the $65.

But out local average income is about $22k. So, a lot of things are really cheap. Land, for instance. I paid $15k for 57 acres. It was a special deal but it still isn't worth much more than 30k. Strange too...I am actually finally having it logged and they told me I should get about $40k for the wood.

As for pictures...I told my lovely wife Victoria to take pictures of me using the Dingo and she never did. It made her really nervous watching me use it I just finished the electric rough in today. Next, insulation and then sheet rock. I am getting a local artist friend to do something Harley Davidson on one of the walls.
