If you can roll it up without uprooting the sod, then do it now. A better way is to scatter the seed and then roll it down with a water fillable roller. The roller presses the seed into the surface of the soil, and that holds the seed in place.

I assume you are in the north. Now is also a good time to use something like Weed-b-Gon to spot spray any dandelions, clover, or other weeds you might have.

When I planted the seed in October, I did the water-filled seed compacting roller you mention.

For a hall bathroom, we installed outlets on either dude of the sink, a single.

I realized that i sometimes need two hot tools to dry my hair they don't fit in one outlet.

So, like suggested, figure out your needs. Pretend you are getting ready for the day.

What do you mean "they don't fit"? The plug is too big for a double receptacle? How much current do your tools use? You might need two receptacles on two circuits.

Both people here are at fault. The electrician should have said in advance that his estimatate was for labor only. The poster shouldn't expect the electrician to determine what the job requires, give you a list so you could by the parts, and then install them.

Sorry, HU-910663146, I was actually responding to w0lley32.

In my case, the electrician came to the house, looked at my panel and looked at the location where i needed the receptacle to be installed before telling me it would cost around $400. I never expected him to give me a list of parts so I can go buy them for him to install. But he should have known roughly how much the parts he expects to need for the job cost.

I still haven't gotten the final bill for this. I complained about the original bills (I received 2--one for each day).
