Security guard was nice enough to let me take a few shots from inside the park.
Rest easy, Cub fans. The ivy is still there, keeping a close eye on all the goings on.
Deep in the right field corner, where ordinary triples turn into Daryle Ward doubles...
Staging area for the sod
Very cool mini-cat, unrolling the sod

Finishing up the edges, right against the warning track
Roll of sod, stepping up to the plate...
...while the next roll is on deck...
...with one more in the hole.
Rest of the sod rolls, just waiting to get "laid"... (sorry - couldn't resist)
Marty Thiel, co-owner of Graff's Turf Farms, definitely taking a up-close and personal interest in this job.
Laying it on the [right field] line
Almost done. Kinda like painting yourself into a corner...
