That damn stump is out of the ground

Dug/cut most of the roots. One or two still hanging on but were down about 20 inches in the ground, I just decided I could snap those when pulling.

And you had help, too. How nice.

Yes, those two are good helpers. They help watch, and they help get in the way.

I see you had feline and canine assistance :-)

I'm impressed. Now that you've got the technique down, we've got a couple in our yard that you could have a go at...

Unfortunately, my "technique" results in a wrecked pruning saw. I bought a brand new pruning saw about 3 weeks ago. It's dull as hell now thanks to hitting rocks embedded among the roots.

The last time I was cutting out roots, I used the chainsaw (didn't have anything else). Now I need to replace the chain...

Yeah, I decided I'd rather dull a pruning saw than wreck a chain. I can sharpen the pruning saw, I just need to buy the right file.

Yeah, that's way bigger than anything I've grubbed out.
