Stumped

Cutting down trees is comparatively easy, but the root canal work required to get the stump out is a grinding chore. I made a little tripod with scaffolding and got the 1ton chain block hooked on to the offending stump, but even so it took most of the day to pull the tooth a bit at a time.
If you have ever done any stump removal, you will know it is not for the faint hearted and when the temps are up and the mosquitos biting it is savage entertainment indeed. After each bid to gain ground I was forced to sit and pant for a bit before having another go.
