Stump Removal

Procrastination is a virtue when it comes to stump removal. I suspect that digging these two stumps out would have been more difficult eight years ago when we bought the house. We're thinking of getting a swing set or play structure to the almost-five-year-old for his birthday and the stumps would be in the way.

I used my digging bar to loosen the soil around the stumps and to cut through the dead roots. It was pretty easy. It reminded me how much I enjoy using a digging bar. The summer I spent when I was fourteen digging post holes for fence posts left its mark I guess.

Fence: Part 6e - Staining & Pickets

I've been staining and hanging pickets as time is available.

I've also installed a mesh gate to aid in keeping my one-and-a-half-year-old in the yard.
