THE TREE! (Warning: Whining ahead.)
Ok, it's not a stump anymore.
Spent some hours digging it out completely. Ended up by flooding it, and moving the muck out. There's no dirt supporting it; it's held in entirely by the two conjoined roots in the back, which go through the post supporting the fence.
So, Goram it, now I have to take the fence down to get the stump out. That's about another 10 hours of work, not counting putting the fence back in place. (10 hours: clean yard, take fence down, dig out rest of stump.) If I use the chainsaw (which I need to return) on the unsupported stump the kickback would be dangerous, as I'll be leaning in to cut roots 2 feet below ground level in the pit, underneath another root.
Aaargh. This was supposed to be done within a week, so I could move on to the housepainting, which I was going to do before the rains came...a month so far, and only more work being created.
The next door neighbor and I have gone in on getting the fence fixed, so that fence is partially down. Joy and rapture. I'm getting to hate yardwork; I'm really tired of digging, and once I finish the tree, then there's the fence, and the front yard, and the back area, and the painting, and the trim, and and and.
FUCK. I need to get a real job so I can pay someone else to do this crap.

Not only are they illegal in California; in County, in City...
And you can't get them. And if you do, and use them, your neighbors will gladly turn you in. Because if you take out the main sewer line, everyone has to deal with the resultant pool of shit.
