    I'm waiting for him to say that always hilarious "I'm Rick James, bitch" line because it is so timeless and funny. What an original idea. We as a community will have never ending laughs because of your incredible wit and humor.

    I wonder if you and that anusracer guy get together on weekends to drink wine coolers and fag out together?

    I can tell you right now (even though I know you are joking) that a dog is NOT a good watering system for sod. My dog 'watered' the same patch of my brand new sod all last fall and through winter...we just recently had to scrape that dead sod off the ground and replant it with new grass after removing the acidity that a dog's pee creates.

    ^start laying down lime about 2 times a year in his fav spots to pee that will nuetralize the acidity that the pee creates. All in all its going to cost me about $500 for about 3850 sq ft. No i dont have an irigation system. I have an acre of land that i would have to install that into and that would be mucho bucks. I had a new septic system installed last year and this sod is going over that land that was dug up. I have well water so watering is not a problem i dont have to pay for water.

    Installing a sprinkler system yourself isn't very difficult and it can save you alot. The place I got mine done through had an option where you could just buy all the bits from them that you need at their price and you install it yourself...they even help you get started and show you how it all works. It's a pretty sweet plan.
