Just sodded. Need some advice

I know this isn't the best time to sod, but my yard was kicking up dust storms. I put down some Bermuda and was wondering if I needed to roll it. I'm watering it quite a bit. Put down 20 pallets myself... Never again!

Water the shite out of it.......I don't think you can water it too much.

Did you prep ground at all? Put down starter feed/ fertilizer prior to putting out?

This.
If your ground is firm and level, rolling is not necessary.
How long did it take you to lay 20 pallets??

13 hours for 20 pallets. Put down a layer of river sand first. I'm going to hit it with a smidge of triple 13 tonight. Then continue to water the shite out of it.

No 13 13 13 just water water water.
Seriously water like 16 hrs a day for several days.

What BP said. It will be a few weeks before you fertilize. Wait until the roots take hold, otherwise your fertilizer is just sitting on a block of grass, and eventually running off with the water. You cannot water too much!!

Water every evening... Soak.

How are those forearms feeling after laying that much sod?

I never understood the meanig of "stoving up" until last night. A flexeril and a margarita fixed that though.

Prayers sent. I put down 6 one time and thought I was a goner.

shite, I think you just introduced a lot of weeds to the new grass...

Your a beast if you did 20 pallets in 13 hours by yourself. 
A friend and myself did 10 and it took us like 6 hours, but it was around odd shapes so we had to position every piece. Just water the hell out of it for a while. That's what we did and it looks great now.

River sand = weeds

It's river sand from the San Jacinto. There's a sand pit not far from me and this is pretty much what everyone puts down to level their yards. This Bermuda is a 419 mix and has weed and feed in it.
