Julia was asking about the meaning of "Sods and rinds"

Sods are the same as in standard English: pieces of turf. Here's the Newfoundland dictionary for "rinds":

The bark or cortex of a tree, specif a 6-ft (1.8 m) length of bark removed in one piece from a standing spruce or fir and used for various fisheries and building purposes (first cited from 1620):

1620 WHITBOURNE 30 The rindes of these trees serve to cover their Stages, and necessary roomes, with turfes on them; so that in a few yeares, I feare, that most of the good timber trees neere the Sea-side, where men use to fish, will be either felled, spoyled or burned

The stages are for drying codfish.
