How to fill out sod houses

1. To fill out sod houses, follow these steps:
2. Start by preparing the foundation of the sod house. Clear the area of any debris and level the ground.
3. Gather sod blocks or turf. Cut sod blocks in uniform shape and size, typically 18 by 24 inches.
4. Lay the first row of sod blocks on the foundation, placing them tightly together. Use a tamping tool to press the sod blocks firmly into place.
5. Continue laying subsequent rows of sod blocks, staggering them like brickwork. Use a hand saw to trim blocks as needed for proper fitting.
6. Ensure that each row is level and plumb. Use a string line and a level to check the alignment regularly.
7. As you build the walls, leave openings for doors and windows. Reinforce these openings with additional support beams.
8. Once the walls are complete, create a roof by layering thick sod blocks horizontally. Ensure that the roof is slightly slanted for proper drainage.
9. Finish the interior by applying a layer of plaster or plasterboard to the walls.
10. Lastly, install a door and any necessary windows to complete the sod house.
