Actually, we want to put something else in, but a bit closer farther back so it doesn't pose as much danger to the power lines. Something either not as big or tall and skinny. And we'll get some chemical or an enzyme to help break down the stump, but right now those roots are what's holding the yard together.
What wasn't mentioned is that the center of the tree seems to have had issues - the core of the stump is dark and soft enough to break up with your hands (although I used my foot 'cause it's kinda gross). Looks like the harsh winters only accelerated the process, but at least we found out before it toppled onto the house, or the neighbors.
