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.
