the old sod

From How to Increase Your Rental Income by CG Dowling

Well, actually, it's new sod. New to me. Hannah dug it out of her yard and I (what's in the truck?) brought it out here and installed it. Given the way the neighborhood is skewing 99 percentish, I am scrambling to keep up with the—ahem, not mentioning any names. They put in sod. I put in sod. Okay, it wasn't that much, but hey, it's a start. The idea is to correct the incursions made by roofers' pickups going in and out all day long for a couple weeks, shine and —memorably—rain. Now, if I just had the grounds crew to cue the sprinklers like the—Joneses—this place would be a palace in no time.
