I need to replace a rotten fence post...


I have had one done before that was set in concrete ... and it took a lot of drilling, chisling, hacking, swearing..


This one is set in one of those 'Metapost' Spike things ..the wood has swelled and I need any ideas as to the best approach to do this.


If I can clear the hole I should be able to insert the new post...


Post is 3" square....


This must be a common problem.. and there is bound to be an easier way to accomplish this...


So.. any idea guys...

I've had a little brainwave....


Paving slab either side of hole.... 2 bricks .. and a steel plate with a hole ...

.. Then a heavy duty coach bolt through the hole screwed into end of post and try to pull it out by leverage...


.. then 2 more bricks until it comes clear...


Foxy..

    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
