Pain in the .....

We are finally replacing our old, rotting wooden fence with a new white vinyl fence. But before they come to install it next week, we needed to tear down and haul away the old fence and rip out a stump that was on the side of the yard, just a few inches from the sidewalk. The people that put up the wooden fence had it installed 4 feet from the sidewalk!! We are going to add 3 1/2 feet to our yard. While the boys and I knocked down the old fence, David took the first load to the dump and rented the tractor to dig out the stump. We got the fence down in 4 hours and after digging for 2 hours the stump finally came out. We still have to haul some old fence wood away and clean up the dirt and mud from digging up the stump and the fence posts, but dirty and sore, we have quit for the day.
