I'm not sure why, but whenever I'm sick I end up wanting to get work done around the house (I suspect delirium or dementia ;). So of course, yesterday, this ended up involving the removal of two old stumps in the front parkway. Stumps that had been there since I bought the house 3 1/2 years ago. I was partially inspired by reading about some other DIY-ers who had taken out some stumps that were only a year old after they found that they were already quite ready to come out of the ground.
I wandered out to the front and checked to see how firmly mine were still in place. I was pleased to discover that I could wiggle them with my foot. They were still going to be a bit of a challenge, but they should come out without too much trouble. I went to the garage to grab the pick, and before long I had both stumps out of the ground and ready for disposal
Stump 0
Stump 1
Despite how easy the stumps were to remove, they did take up quite a bit of space in ye olde trash can, fortunately today was trash day so they've already been taken away (and since I was sick a good chunk of the week, I didn't have much house trash to get rid of)
