Thanks for the mention. It looks like you have figured out the instructions. You are are making progress. It should get easier from here. And all you like is finishing. Tell Denise I'm ready for the 1 pound of butter when she gets it made. I have found a way to agitate the cream. I'll just care it around in my dump truck all day

We shopped the removal around quite a bit to find a lower price, and part of the deal we got with the company that did finally take it down involved them removing all the wood. They were able to sell it somewhere to offset their removal costs. We kept some of the smaller branches to use as firewood this winter. Mike is planning to seed the spot where the stump was removed soon.
