The stump project

All other websites in the world will want you to remove a stump using one of the easy ways:

• drilling holes and adding salt (this will soften the stump over a period of several months)
• hire someone to use a stump grinder (this will leave you with a nice pile of mulch).

Removing a redwood stump with an axe and a saw is not recommended on any website anywhere.

Except on mine. I like challenges. I suggest getting an axe, sturdy gloves, putting on some great music and going to work. If you are already in decent shape, it will take you about 80 hours.

Why on earth did I do this? Because I don't get a lot of opportunies to delve into physical labor. I very much enjoyed the blood & sweat I spent getting this out.

Before the stump & it's roots was something I had to work around and by the end I had a huge hole & lots of potential.
