Every project has its prerequisites, and deviations. I try to look at these things before starting a project. But sometimes I get surprises like that time when I found misassembled irrigation pipes was causing the fence to rot, Moisture and Fence Failure. This time it is also moisture, but drainage, and preemptive.
The vertical trench is my drainage trench, and crossing the drainage trench is a Maple Root. OK, we just have to exorcise the Maple Root, and we can get on with it. LOL! Great Plan.
So I go straight at the place where the Maple Root is in the way of the Drainage Trench. To use the saw I have to get the dirt out of the way. Red Flag #1, Texas Clay Soil... Now starting to excavate...
Yes, this is close to the area where the trunk was, and this was a big tree. After getting down into the ground away I realize that this root is a lot bigger than I visualized...
I'm gonna have to work this some more before I can get a saw on it. But, you know there is always a silver lining. Now I know exactly where the phone line, cable line, and irrigation supply lines are...
