Another Weekend (or 4 year) Project

April 7, 2008
We decided to cut down this cottonwood because it made a mess out of the backyard with all those sticky yellow pods.  Abby's kennel was right next to it and she would be covered with pods every spring.  Four years later Landon decided he needed a weekend project and started cutting out the stump; which at the top was about 2' across.  As most of you know, just because the stump is 2' across doesn't mean that the roots are only 2' across.  The hole was about 8' across and 2' deep.  It took more than a weekend but he got it done.  Luckily we haven't had much rain this spring and he got the hole filled in before it became too much of a mess.
