Spraygrass
Your palace is looking good.
Your mention of the trucks spaying grass brought back fond memories of the days when I used the process to revegetate many kms of roadsides and degraded sites.
It is a very effective process and quick.
The main guys I used were Spraygrass from Vineyard.
Spraygrass
The magic elixer:
The simplest process is mixing the seed, fertilizer and wood pulp and a tackifier in a big tank on a truck. An agitator keeps it mixed. They add a green dye so they know where they have sprayed.
The truck drives along and a guy with a big hose sprays it on the bare ground.
We often had another trailer behind the truck that would spray straw and bitumen over the Hydroseeded area. The straw provided a nice blanket for the seed. The fine bitumen mist tacked the straw in place.
Your area might be a bit small to get them to do your job.
I used to combine several jobs to make it worthwhile for them to travel to the North Coast.
You could give them a call and see if they can do your job the next time they have other work in your area. They were good guys to deal with.
or you could spread seed and fertilizer by hand and water it with a garden hose?
Pretty boring and no fun tools or machines to play with but effective.Scally

A cannon in the front yard might deter the neighbours complaining about the noise from the shed
As for the lawn, an alternative is to use plugs if you can find a wholesaler who will sell them to you. Otherwise, just grab a few rolls of turf and a spade and cut the turf into squares, plant them out and top dress to level.

It is always a good idea to keep a safe distance and remove any throwable objects from the vicinity when discussing shed improvements. The story when buying a new sewing machine always seems to be different somehow and improvements to the sewing room always seem to get immediate approval in my experience. The fact that the last sewing machine cost $5000 is just a small blip on the financial front and can be ignored as inconsequential. Such is life.

Almost exactly a year later and I have finally bought the Kaizen foam. Timbecon stock it and the price is pretty good but transport cost to Sydney is HORRENDOUS so I added a trip to Melbourne to my Lost Trades weekend. I knuckled down today and this is the result....

.... the kaizen foam is easier to cut than the Clarke Rubber clone and I got much better at it as I went along.
