The infamous eye sore of a stump?
After the plumbers pulled out the tree stump for us it was so heavy the could not hall it away. They told us sorry we can not lift it with our tractor. Mark tried to cut it up with a chain saw to big, to much dirt in the roots, and some rocks embedded in the tree stump a no go. So we called an arborist tree stump removal company to come get it. He came with a huge truck with a crane to pick up the stump. This was a professional who did it for a living, but it was still to heavy it was tipping his massive truck with a crane. He suggested we try to clean all the dirt out off the stump to make it lighter. So that we did. No easy task mind you we took over three hours with the water hose shovels and an ice pick try to make it lighter. We were afraid it still might be too heavy so we did not call back the arborist. Mark, his dad and brother, and our home teacher after many weeks deliberating on how to get rid of the stump finally decided to use all the young men in our ward to scoot it on to a trailer bed. Mark being young men's president does have its benefits after all. It was too heavy for all those boys and men it would not budge. Finally our home teacher said what if we turn it and roll it onto the bed. Mark put the trailer right under the stump and they rolled it like a giant pumpkin onto the truck. Whew what a relief to get rid of that eye soar on our front side walk. Sorry we put a few scratches and a dent it mark's brothers new trailer. Sorry Scott hope we can still borrow it in the future. Thanks to all the young men and our home teacher for their help.
