He <br /> 26 noted it will eventually dry out and a water truck will be • <br /> 27 coming regularly to keep the sod moist . There is usually a <br /> 28 thirty day watering period and there is a warranty which goes <br /> 29 until October 25, 1993 . <br /> 30 <br /> 31 The condition of the sod will be evaluated in thirty days . If <br /> 32 the condition of the sod is not acceptable the warranty will <br /> 33 be extended until , the next growing period.
