Thread: Underwater stump removal?

CP. what about flushing the surrounding mud/dirt/whatever away with a pump and hose. A garden hose would work but renting a 2" line pump used in construction would move some stuff. You could attach a piece of steel pipe to it and work from above the water. That's my input, good luck.

call the coast guard.....tell them you have a navagational hazard that needs to be removed.......

I would have to pay a big big dredging fee. I am not on the President's "favorites" list.:rolleyes:

Just live another 50 years it should just rot out by then.:D

I was gonna suggest something like this. Get a pump. Drive a steel pipe down beside with a sledge hammer it attach a hose to the pipe and crank that mutha up and blast the bottom out from around it. You might have to drive it in in a couple spots around it but it should blow out a good hole. If you could fashion something to hook on it to pull it out once you get it loose you can probably get it out... i know "you" can fashion something.

You guys don't forget I is 70 years in the making. It hard to lift my wieners sometimes.

what about a log splitter. slow but sure if you drive a splitter into the stump it will come apart job for summer or at least when it's warmer each day drive it in some where on the stump and in a month of sunday's it's gone??? maybe

In summer, the stump will be in 12 foot of water.

Washing around the stump would be considered dredging. Big fine. May have to chance it.
