Bob, as nice as sod is to put an instant lawn in, it is not a good choice long term. We are in prime grass seeding season. Sod requires a lot of water daily to keep it alive. You end up surface watering the plant which results in a shallow root system. Look into hydroseeding or brilion seeding. Once semi established cut watering back to every other day then ultimately water an inch of water One day a week at a time. Roots will "dive" for water and establish deep roots
