Hey @Sam Harris did you buy that harness?
Just did! [emoji16][emoji106] thanks Mark! I was busy doing manual labor today...

Don’t you just love pulling old posts and concrete out?

Untreated cedar?

You're a better man than I, @Sam Harris. I've learned to move about a foot or two over from the existing posts and dig there. I pulled one concrete chunk out a few years ago and promised myself to never do that again. I dug three this spring and they're all offset the same. When the time comes to replace the fence, they're all in place and it's all above-ground work. With the wind we had a few weeks back I'm sure glad I did them earlier.

Now I'm about to embark on a deck replacement that requires min. 8"x36" concrete caissons to support it. Oh, boy. Auger rental time....

Yeah I cheat and use the post repair things that you drive into the void between the concrete and broken post with a sledge hammer and use screws to attach to the post with.

Holy crap. That’s going to be a big job! [emoji15] yeah if I were doing the whole fence I might move a foot to the side, just replaced a couple though today.
