I dug a 5" x 5" hardwood gate post out of concrete the other day for a

BTDT when the oak hinge post for my 5-bar gate rotted. Tedious, isn't it?


So tedious that I left quite a bit in there, put some 6" screws into the
base and re-set the thing in concrete. Also put a bracket on the
adjoining wall the keep it stable till it goes off. Terrible bodge but
apparently it's only temp till they have the wall rebuilt
