Generated a YouTube video of the stump extraction saga of a few days ago. I started out digging around that pine tree stump with the excavator, but instead of the stump getting smaller the deeper I went, it got larger. I dug down as far as I could go, and then just went around it, pushing with the excavator boom until I found a weak side that broke it off at the base. Then came lifting it out of that very deep hole it was in. I had to use both the excavator and tractor working together to lift it out and drag it. Would have been much easier with two people, working both together, but it is what it is. I gave Pim a preliminary course in how to drive the tractor, and she offered to help, but she just doesn't have the experience yet. When I was pulling on that stump with the tractor I could feel it having a tendency to try to roll to the left. So I couldn't let an inexperienced person run the risk of having that happen.
But anyway, got 'er done!
