Excavation Continues - A Large Stump is Removed

The weather has improved a bit this month and we have been able to step up the pace of the excavation.  There was a large tree in the build zone which we have dug out on three sides as the cut grew larger.  Today we reached the point of finally being able to knock the stump over and remove it.

The stump was too firmly rooted to remove
until we had cut out the dirt all around it.

The stump is detached.  Now we just have to move it out of the excavation site.
