The root in front of the porch. I have to cut this one plus one other big one out to get my new path at the correct elevation. I have been dreading this. When you start cutting into one of these, the root clamps down on the sawzall blade. You can see a lovely pile of small roots in the foreground which were removed while exposing the big root. You can't tell from the pic but that hole is dug down about 12".
