I would like to get it done in 2 days, 3 pallets one day, 3 pallets the next, or 3 days with 2 pallets each day.

As far as keeping it alive, the nursery said to just water it every day for 30 mins for the first 2 weeks so that is my plan as of right now. I would love to wait till feb or march but with the dogs using the backyard to potty we need grass to prevent a filthy mess of dirt being tracked in multiple times a day.

As far a laborers go, it will be me and Heidi if she is off work but probably mainly me, I don't think we are going to have any money left to hire out any help and plus that just supports the illegal immigration problem lol.
Dude, you cant let dogs on the yard for a couple weeks. They will destroy it, the peaces need to set, and root in a bit.

Lucky you have small dogs, but when ours was installed the landscaper said, NO DOGS, NO PEOPLE for 2 weeks. The yard should be squishy feeling when you walk on it after its installed till the dirt under it hardens.

Also yea 30 minutes a day is fine to water, when its not the dead of a Texas Summer.

Just trying to give you some tips, so you don't kill the yard your spending so much on. Also honestly you need help laying the sod man.

They did mine in 2 days and it was 3 guys who do this for a living and my back yard was only 3 pallets.

Also something to think about, we left 18 inches of dirt boarder around the yard and fence. This allows it to be cut easier and trimmed easier then having it up along the fence. Plus is makes a nice area to plant flowers and such. Kicker is it can save you a lot of sod.
