So it turns out that if you are going to spend 8 hours digging up the lawn during a hot sunny day, you may want to consider devoting the next day to actually planting the seeds.

Once we finished digging every thing up. And then bagging the excess dirt so it could be thrown out. And cleaning up the tools … we had no energy left to actually plant the seeds.

So we did a marginal job of planting seeds.

Okay a poor job.

Turns out that to plant seeds you need to level the ground.

Then put the seeds.

Then add some kind of top soil (not dirt but top-soil).

That would have added 2 more hours to our day… And we were too wiped to contemplate that.

sigh

So I am going to try to salvage the lawn by doing some leveling, some digging, some seed planting and some top-soil depositing.

If that fails… I may have to call in professional help.
