    Never ever, ever underestimate a Paw - Paw with a come-along and a pulley. Ever.

    Lever, fulcrum, block & tackle... tools from the beginning of human understanding of tools. Good on you, Papa! You made a tough job look easy. Kudos!

    Just what every husband loves doing. A honey-do chore on their day off while the wife sits, watches, critiques, and tells them how to do it. Watched my poor dad go through this for decades.
  • Thank God she told him about the tractor. He would have never figured that out on his own...lol! That's like a husband watching his wife in the kitchen mixing the ingredients for a cake and saying, ''now, if you put that mixture in the oven it will bake into a cake.''
  • Dude never could have done it without the advice and assistance of the camera person. So helpfull

    A rope can be tied at an angle away from you to prevent a failure in the rigging coming back in your face. I used to rig submarines to tug boats in the Thames River,Groton, CT. Seen some bad things happen. It’s amazing the amount of energy released when a line snaps.

    “Unless that was you.” 🤣 I bet he felt that the next morning.

    This guy has the patience of a saint. Not for pulling the stump but for dealing with the woman's instructions while she is holding the fence in place and the camera.
  • And that my friends is why you should never underestimate an old man, just imagine what he was like in his prime. 😉👍

    It's called a gin pole, grandaddy knows his stuff, you can tell he worked for a living

    "Did you hear that? Was the you?" Funny. Got me laughing.
  • @ScoutSniper3124
    I've seen plenty of 20 year old's who don't work that hard... way to go Sir!
  • Stump pulling 101, never doubt an old man when he says he’s done it before , there ends the lesson
  • @ppumpkin3282
    Great job taking all that advice from your wife, and not letting it get to you.
  • @jeddyhi
    Doesn't seem safe, his location in relation to all that tension. If one thing breaks, instant tragedy.
  • @rupe53
    He had the right idea but wetting the ground with 50 gallons of water the night before could have made it so much easier. That's basically what a storm does right before the wind uproots everything.

    Pops still got it. I learned something from watching this and I'm going to use it. Thank you.
  • I grew up among my grandpa’s friends (construction workers the lot of them). I wish I knew how blessed I was when I would listen to their endless chit chat during lunch and after work. All the dirty hilarious jokes that just flew right pass me and all the accumulated knowledge
