re: Paging Ronk: what's the right process to sodding new lawn in DFW clay soil?

Thanks for the great replies. I really appreciate it.
Can I scalp the lawn this weekend or should I wait until everything is truly dead? It's mostly all yellow now, so it's dying.
Will the compaction of my soil be a problem? It's very compacted.
Thanks again!

If you hit everything with glyphosate you can remove what is dead and then hit anything green again. The soil compaction generally wouldn't be an issue. You should aerate every year though. If you would feel more comfortable then you can till to break the soil up.

Got my lawn mostly down to dirt. There are still some dead runners/roots visible, but I am going to be spreading 2 yds of premium soil(a mix of sandy loam and compost), so hopefully that'll be good enough?
My wife does have me rethinking laying the sod by myself though. She says a roll can weigh 30-50lbs or maybe more. 3 pallets is a lot and I need to get it all down fast so I can water it. I'm old and worried this may be too much labor for me.
Is laying 1400sq ft of sod back breaking?
