We understand some people just want to do things on their own, without help from others. That is how I am. We sometimes find out towards the end its better to get a professional to do the job.
I have taken on projects that I should have hired a pro to do. Sometimes they turn out just fine, or I may learn a new talent in the process of trial and error. Other times I have jumped in over my head and realized I have taken on way more than I should have. There is nothing wrong with admitting you have gotten in over your head and need help.
Small stumps may look like they will be simple to dig up, and some may be. Most stumps have a very intricate root system, making them very difficult to dig up. If your lucky you may spend only a few hours and if not so lucky it may take several days or longer. After you get the stump dug out what are you going to do with it...
I have been hired lots of time to grind stumps that someone has tried to dig up. Sometimes they have dug most of their yard up trying to get the stump out, only to discover they took on way more than expected. There comes a point when your realize "I am getting nowhere" and you have to throw in the white flag of defeat.
We all make bad decisions from time to time, but trying to dig the stump up on your on may not have been all bad. If it had worked out you would have saved yourself some money. Even though things may not have worked out as planned you did get plenty of exercise in the process and to be truthful it was probably fun at first. If you were successful in digging the stump up you accomplished something few would attempt and congratulations.
