I've felt that way many times.....I call it pv'ing...
Thinking about making this little stump into a seat with a small table top or something.
Hi Lisa, here is an idea for the "something" in what to do with tree stumps:
Sure beats digging them out!
I've got to cut out a pine tree thats encroaching on our pavilion and I'm considering doing something with the stump as well. My first thought was also some sort of table top for it, let us know what you end up doing! Turning it into a planter is a great idea also.
Do you feel better in the morning?Good morning, REOfriends.
Day 3 with my new CPAP machine and so far so good. Wife enjoys not hearing me saw a cord of wood each night now.
Good Morning Reo-fam! Big hugs for Lisa and Torey. It would be nice if we can have their nicks and maybe a little bit about them so we can say a proper prayer.
Have a sparkling day everyone. Def a riding day today. Zoooom......Craasshhhh!!

I think we're heading that way soon here. Recently we decided to try the wedge pillow because i noticed he doesn't snore as much or as loudly when he's in his recliner. So far the wedge is working pretty well, but I still think he has sleep apnea so I'm sure down the road, we'll be getting a CPAP for him too. I'm just glad he's getting better sleep...which means I can get better sleep. His snoring I could deal with, but the sudden breath catching...that was hard to deal with. Every time he stopped breathing, I'd wake up and stay away until he caught his breath and fell back to sleep. His dad has a CPAP and claims he's never slept better.

I love that...and yes, I was thinking of a few little stump gardens. 3 here, 5 there....all varying in height. The problem is that 90% of the stumps I have were tore out of the ground, roots and all. So now I have to move them and then decide how to place them. Do I just cut the bottoms off or do I dig big holes and sink them back in the dirt?

Hard to say since it's only been three nights with it, but I can tell you that I feel gret right now.
Lisa, If you bury those stumps on a property with an artesian well, you may wind up with heavy manganese in your water. Might be better to get a permit and have a nice bonfire. Oh and bring marshmellows!
Good morning, Jif
Good morning to you, my friend.
That breath-catching also worried the crap out of my wife. I used to do that constantly. Not any more. A doctor's visit is the first step so he can schedule Wayne for a sleep study. Then, the sleep study is next, then once the sleep people find the apneas, they will let the doctor know and he will prescribe a CPAP machine. Then, you go pick it up. That's the way I understand it anyway. That was my line of progression. My insurance covered the sleep study ($1,000) and also the CPAP machine with face mask ($2,300) You'd have to check and make sure yours does also. Either that or just come out of pocket, but yikes.....$3,000.
I think this CPAP will keep me alive for far longer than without it.
I got lots to play with. It may be hard to see, but just on this side of the house alone are over 20 stumps, all but 3 are sitting on top of the ground.
My friend's name is Denna...I miss her so much.
Good morning, Jif
Morning Lisa!
If he is experiencing bouts of stopping breathing and then catching his breath, that is really dangerous. It means he is not getting oxygen during those times. It can affect the brain. He really needs a sleep study done. A CPAP would improve so many things. I know no one wants a mask to wear at night. But sometimes it is the better choice.
Stumps! Cut off the bottom and set them a couple of inches in the ground for stability. That will be so pretty!

Huh...I'll have to check that out. We have a community well we draw from...when I was saying bury, I don't mean bury all the way. Just putting them back in the ground like they were. Would that still be a problem? I know I have too many and will need to burn some of them.
Good morning to you, my friend.

Good to know...we don't have insurance. Yet. Its been far too expensive; for Wayne & I, it's way more expensive than our two car payments. So we've been paying as we go, hoping that it will get less expensive. We own our own business and insurance companies seem to think we're made of money.
If I had health insurance now, it would cost me about $400/month with a $7600 deductible...and that's the cheap plan. So last October I went and had a full physical including full blood work and ultrasound to check on my cancer. I spent $1200. Clean bill of health (thank goodness) but I can't afford the $4800/year and get nothing from it if I had it, never mind the deductible. I just can't. And Wayne's is even more expensive. We'd be out of business & home if we paid for health insurance. So we keep a stash of money in reserve in case of medical need....for now. We can usually get about 30-40% of the bill deducted for paying cash. But worst case, all our doctors and related services allow us to make payments if necessary. We've made sure of it. We're just waiting for the dust to settle before we make any more decisions on this. T is covered by her biological sperm donor's insurance.
I just checked and they are available for purchase on eBay. They're about $500. This would probably be your best bet. They're easy to understand and use. The only thing that would be iffy is that you are supposed to have a certain air flow number that you dial into the machine that is specific for your needs, but my machine auto-adjusts throughout the night to maintain an open airway, so that gets rid of that issue. Mine is Philips Respironics System 1. That and a hose and mask and he's in business.
Hey Torey...if you're unable to sleep, but bored...there is always the Interesting & Fun section towards the bottom of this post that would keep you busy for.....days.
No hun that shouldn't be a problem at all. You just don't want to bury a large number of stumps in the ground. About 10 years ago I had to bring a large excavator back to a job site where I had dug a huge septic system and remove all the stumps I had buried, as the iron in the well went up 150 times and was unsafe to use. I was fortunate that I had noted on the contract "22 stumps buried in 4 holes per the owner" and had him initial that section.
