Never heard of a chainsaw?

I use a shovel, sawzall, pick-axe. Not all stumps/roots are the same!

What an absolute chad

Najlakse je za panjeve. Otkopazi zemlju oko panja koliko mozete. I zile bocne iseci sekirom. A onda ono krupno sto ostane uzmete hilti ili neku jaku busilicu i busiti rupe odozgo na dole a onda bocne rupe. Onda stavite dleto na hilti i odozgo i bocno ga cepati. Zavisi koliki je panj ali je ovo najbolje resenje. Probao sam i so i preradjeno ulje i benzin i ugalj i svasta nesto ali dzabe. Ovo sam doktorirao i ovako je najbolje

Very good suggestion: we don't need to remove the whole stump, just couple inches below the ground level then cover it with grass in my case.

I’ve done that a time or two. Good honest work. I’ve discovered a sawzall to be a huge help.

I just leave the stump high to get leverage dig one side heavily with a mattocks to break the roots get under it and then wiggle the stump about hard work but does the job.

Sawzall?

Did you have to sharpen your axe at all during the process?

Rent a stump grinder for $50

Nice vid. Looks like too much work for me so I called my insurance company and told them I broke the rear glass when I was taking the hardtop off and they sent Safelite out and they replaced it for free! If you have comprehensive insurance it’s covered.

Nothing but some time and good ol elbow grease

Your way of doing it as good as any . The surest way to get views for a CZcams vid is to include the word “easy “ in the title regardless of what the topic is . I have seen it used so many times . People about to undertake an unfamiliar task will understandably have a bit of self doubt in their minds and look for some kind of short cut and because of lack of experience will fall for all kinds of crap .

Awesome video of capturing the ISS. It's amazing you can see it so well!

This is my current situation. I do about 30 mins a day because it’s exhausting. And despite wearing gloves I got blisters too.

This is so cool. I got started in astrophotography a few months ago. I applaud your ingenious rig. Kind of reminds me of a one-man-band setup. Thanks for sharing.

Tell you what you learn a thing or two

THANK YOU!!!! I've been running my Roomba daily for at least 2 years and it started giving me a communication error daily along with not being able to properly get a seal to empty the bin. I never would have thought to look at this. I've been dealing with errors DAILY and was at my wits end!!! It WORKED!!! Thank you so much for making this video!!!

Dude spread it out over days and had blisters.. that tells alot

What about the roots that's can still grow under the building and cause structural damage. I would want to remove the complete root also.

Why not a chainsaw?

Dude, buy a shovel !

Looks like a lot of hard work. Which was only overcome at the expense of your good shape and young age. Instead of an axe, you used a pickaxe... a very inappropriate tool. And instead of chopping or cutting the remains of the tree with a hacksaw, you chopped it as if you had an engine and a big mechanical shredder instead of your hands. It is inefficient and difficult. I think it was better to cut off the roots and pull out the stump completely as usual instead of chopping it into pieces.

Wtf is a phone wire?

I have dug out 5 or 6 stumps on our place over the last 20 years. I am now 74 and have 1 or 2 more to dug out shortly. It is very, very good exercise and and I also have several mini dachshunds who are always ready to help (or hinder). Peace and God bless.

very loose dirt, tree is not too big

this is how the cave men did it...but no one does it like this unless you have TONS of time on your hands. hurts to think about how much time this took, dont ever do it like this so many other ways that are better, definitely no worth uploading to youtube, this is downright insane

Just out of curiosity, wouldn't it be a lot faster to use a diamond tipped masonry blade on an oscillating power tool to score the stone much quicker (and deeper), then give it a good pop with the hammer and chisel? Your method works, but that took you five minutes and a considerable amount of effort, not to mention the edges weren't really clean. *Note: I have not tried what I'm suggesting. I'm just looking for a faster, cleaner way and asking if you tried donething like this.

Use a chainsaw or circular saw to do the same thing. Work smarter not harder.

Just get the stump grinding

Way too much work this is for cheap people

Good luck with a Georgia oak. Can it be done? Yes. But F that.

What year is your Carrier gas furnace? Mine is from 1980 and I do not see control board - where it could be located? The blower motor runs non-stop

Mine was in back yard, I attached couple 2x4 with lag bolts then used a car jack, did it on 3 sides and tadaa.

Dead stump could be burnt (takes time and some firewood of some sort, but no physical work involved), but not that close to the fence/house, of course.

Eaxclty how ive done 30 or so stumps..., pulled a few with a tripod and a chain fall, but still had to dig and chop....most can come out in an hour

You also forgot the major benefits of a great workout, using most of your muscles and excellent cardio. But rather than a gym you end up with a tangible result, i.e. tree stump gone!! This is the main reason for using this method. Take your time and enjoy!!

Very helpful video. I could never get the wiper arm to disengage with chisels, screwdrivers, etc. Spent $13 on Amazon for a tool I’ll only have to use once, hopefully! For the struts, I ended up taking them apart. It made putting the top part back on much easier. Wish I would’ve thought of that 2 hours earlier!

Will it die?

this is the man's way of doing it. Great job brotha, may the brute force be with you always

Really do appreciate the video. I’ll be installing my new glass window this weekend!! I’m sure I’ll be referencing your video several times 🤣🤣

Thx for this. I was going to use 5/8 in cedar pickets but now I'm not so sure it's really any better than using common lumber 2x6s that are slightly cheaper. When the cedar starts to rot, there isn't much material thickness in the pickets to hold it together. I don't have the budget atm to get more substantial cedar lumber. Thx again. This video was great!

I set mine on fire

I have a stump three times the size shown here and I started with a sawsall and cut down into the top as deep as I could, then across horizontally and removed chunks at a time, then started again..............not easy especially for a female, but being persistant paid off.

Been doing this for 3 weeks a couple of mins every day. So far i removed one and i just need 4 more to go. I like the fact that its on my time and i dont rush it.

Thank you. I have a smaller masonry tool I was using to cut flagstone walkways. I feel confident I can use the same tool to cut the block like I did with the flagstone.

Just burn it out. That was what did to my stumps

Dude you are fast..

Quit being such a cheapskate and rent a stump grinder. All that digging of a shovel and swinging of an ax leads to severe cases of arthritis, pulled muscles, and spine injuries. You're way will land you in the back of an ambulance and spending the rest of your life in a wheelchair. It's easier to work smarter than work your dumb ass off like you've shown in this video. By the time you've dug out all the dirt around the stump to prepare to swing the ax, my rented stump grinder finished removing three stumps and I sat down for lunch. You're not Paul Bunyon so quit acting like him. You had to greatly speed up the video because your way of removing a tree stump took 10 hours. Thanks for showing us viewers how NOT to remove a tree stump. Rent a Binford 450 model stump grinder and enjoy life the easy and smart way. Leave the dumb ways to the Hillbillies. They don't want to know any better anyway. Their too busy drinking beer, getting tattoos and believing Trump is their second coming of Jesus Christ dressed in a red baseball cap. 😂

Was thinking of buying an axe as it looks cool but remembered I have a reciprocating saw. Probably try that first 😊
