Thank you all for the kind welcome and advice. I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can. Sounds like this weekend we'll be sowing a fescue and rye mix. I definitely do not want to see all our hard work and money washed away. Looks like we need to go ahead and get the water turned on out there and get a spigot close to the lake so we can use sprinklers. Luckily for us, we have an abundance of creeks and I've already been scouting ditches for rocks! I may just have to start driving the old truck around in the evenings and loading up every chance I get.

I'll check back in after we get grass going. Any other things I need to know right now in the early stages?
