Well... yesterday 10 yards of topsoil was delivered and I shoveled and dumped 90+ wheelbarrows and then spread it out over the really short grass that was left in my backyard. Then today I spread the seed and watered it in. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment:

Rain is in the forecast almost everyday this week... hopefully its not too heavy, but the yard is almost flat so washout shouldn't become an issue. Sprinklers are set up at 15 mins at 9 am, 1 pm, 5 pm. If it rains tomorrow I will turn them off, but I guess during the week when I'm at work the yard will get hit at 9 and 1 regardless if it rains or not. I'd hate to believe the weather guys and my seedbed dries.
One more thing, does anyone think the existing grass will be able to poke through the 1.5" of topsoil that is on the yard now? Or can I expect a killoff equivelent to roundup?
I will keep posting pictures of the progress.
