Thursday tree stump removal

Steve hired a man to remove two large and one small stump in the front yard. The machine is remote controlled and I watched it come off the trailer and move to the first stump. Then it started cutting it up. There's a large circular blade in front and it moved back and forth over the stump, spreading little chunks and making a bunch of mulch.

The guy said he makes these machines and after his day job around 3:30 he goes out and does the job he really likes. It's nice to meet someone who loves what he does. It took all of 20 minutes to do the three stumps.

Yard Cleanup

A city crew came with a large vacuum and sucked up the leaves at the street

There were three stumps in the  front yard. Steve had a man come with his spiffy machine and it sawed/chewed the stump into mulch.  It has a huge circular blade that moves back and forth using a remote control 

The man told us he designs these machines and loves removing stumps after his day job.  It took all of 20 minutes to remove the three stumps.
