Turfing - How Long?

I am turfing over my garden. I understand that it is very important to lay the lawn with 24 hours of delivery... but as I have never turfed before I have no idea how long it is going to take. The area I have to turf is about 7m x 17m .. has anyone any idea how many hours this might take 2 novices to turf given that it will be fully prepared?

 

wont take long i used to rekon on 100m a day including all the rotavating and preparing also we used turf that was a couple of days old somtimes with no problems all that happens is it turns a bit yellow but usually it picks back up after a day or 2 remeber to work of boards laying them on the first line of turf and turning on to the next as you work your way across your garden and hey presto nice level flat lawn

 

Cant really add a lot to the above other than if its a very hot day then damp the rolls after theyve been unloaded from the loory.

 

And don't forget to lay the turfs like brickwork, so the joints that are at 90 degrees to your board are not all in a straight line. If you see what I mean. Hopefully!

 

In other words straddle them

 

oops forgot that bit stagger the joints also what i used to do was turf a boarder round the area 1st but its just down to prefference also as much water as possible and dont do what one customer done i laid the lawm watered it in left them with the hose to continue watering and they did problem was they had a barbie on the lawn a day or 2 later then expected me to put it right(which i did) but only cause they tried to blame me and it was on a new build site and like a fool i did'nt get a disclaimer signed soon learnt me lesson there so did they lol
