Â* Yup , and probably take out the shed next to the stump where my 1939
Harley is stored . If this stump was out in the woods , I might try some
kind of explosive - but then if it was out in the woods I wouldn't need
to remove it .

You haven't said how big in diameter this stump is. You've dug out around it,
why can't you use a chainsaw to cut it off flush with the ground? That's what
I wanted my tree guys to do with one here and they were going to do it.
But they decided that it was easier and better to just grind it, since they
had the grinder here doing other stuff. Without a grinder, I think a
chainsaw would be my choice. Like I and Fretwell said before, you could
use the power washer to clean it off first, or maybe just a good washing
with a garden hose to get rid of the dirt so it doesn't dull the chain.
