Clearing - Day 2

Digging out stump in lounge/restaurant area
Today we got working with 20 guys in 10 teams of two and just concentrating on getting tree stumps out. In the Reception area where we had started yesterday, the guys made a huge dent in the work to be done there. Some gus started around the lounge and restaurant areas and the seemingly mediocre stumps there ended up in being some of the biggest diggings of the day. The first photo, and old man digging, ended up in a hole nearly a meter deep. The good thing was that the old man in this area was clearly experienced in this and gave the young lads a lot of good advice and guidance over and above the fact that he himself worked like a demon.

Very large rock removed to get tree stump out (Back of Hse)
Once again this involved getting the rocks out before the stump would even budge. This was also only in respect of tree stumps with very young regenerated growth on - so no tree chopping as such yet. The rock in the second photo was so large and heavy that it took 3 of us to move it with a 4th person levering it.
