I have a huge job of removing all the stumps so I can complete my fence line, new trees and prep for a new garage. I rented an excavator from Single Source Rentals and it arrived Friday at 8am, by 8:30, I knew I did not have a big enough machine to do the job. I called Sheldon who runs a Deere 80 excavator and is a pro, he came out Saturday and finished all the really big stumps. I still worked all day Friday pulling all the stumps I could and prepping for Saturday. I also rented a dump bin which we filled up on Saturday and have a second one coming Monday am. I also got a load of free fill delivered Friday am, well I had to pay for delivery. On Saturday I ripped out the neighbors fence and railroad ties with the excavator. The fence I put in the bin, but the railroad ties I had to take to the dump. I also ripped out each cement ball for each fence post, today I tried to load one into my truck with the excavator and I smashed the window of my canopy and crushed my tailgate, woops, need a few more hours on that machine, haha.
All the stumps are out and the ground is fairly level now. Monday I will finish putting the stumps in the bin, return the excavator, have the bins picked up and my new fence is being dropped off. I had a crew coming on Monday to help me install the fence, but now we have 3 inches of snow, so I will wait till it is gone and warms up a bit.
