Not on the list

We had this conifer down last year as it had outgrown its space.
Today I decided to take out the stump.
Dug a 6ft diameter hole, cut off the main roots in 2 places with the sabre saw and axe to leave a 2ft gap. Then excavated beneath the stump cutting roots as we went. The gov had finished digging up the old raspberries by lunchtime so she helped out with the excavation work.
Finally rolled the stump away (too heavy to lift) and refilled the hole.
Will rake it level in a couple of weeks time and seed it to restore the lawn.
Absolutely knackered and my back is giving me gee-up.
And it wasn't on the to-do list either.
