By the end of the weekend, we had to:
Chris also knew how to operate the machine, between the two of them, they did a lot of the excavating in a timely fashion.
The roots of these stumps were amazing! Humongous! They left a lot of holes in the ground.
By the end of the weekend, Mike had become very comfortable in maneuvering the excavator.
Decker was in heaven watching this tractor at our house. As soon as we arrived at home after it had been dropped off, he saw it and started making his tractor noises.
Then once all the stumps were pulled up, Dave came by saying he could dispose of the stumps for us. Here is the dumptruck with the container.
Dave used the excavator to move the stumps from the yard into the container.
And Steve, along with Mike were the masterminds behind the piping. Even though Steve was not feeling well during this weekend, he was there to offer support to Mike and getting this job done on time and on schedule.
A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to everyone who helped in tearing and cleaning up our yard. What a miraculous weekend and getting this huge project completed! Now it's time to reseed and make the yard a fun safe place to play. :)
1. Dig our drain field
2. Pull 15+ stumps out of the ground
3. Dispose of 15+ stumps
4. Flatten out remaining soil and ground
5. Move tree trunks to central location for future bonfires
We had some good friends come help with this enormous project. Steve, Chris, David and our new neighbor Jeff.
We're just hoping we can get everything accomplished before we have to return it to United Rentals on Monday morning.
One of the blessings from this whole experience happened when our neighbor, Jeff came over to offer his help. (he is the one that handled cutting down all of our trees) It was a huge blessing because he pulled up almost every stump in a quarter of the time that it would have taken us to do it. That was important because we were being charged by how many hours the excavator was "on".
