Hello, In Dec 2020 we had a large oak taken down that was damaged and leaning toward the house. We left the stump and we've enjoyed it being there. But it's starting to rot. in the pictures you can see a pile of chips created last week, probably from a woodpecker finding some nice bugs inside. I'm trying to decide what to do -- is it too late to try to preserve it in place? Online articles say it might attract unwanted pests (termites etc.) Someone suggested burning it, or I could pay someone to bring in a stump grinder... Do you have any advice? Thank you.
