Removing concrete from post hole

[Doc Peter]

Dig a hole right next to it and buy two longer boards if needed. Or man up and bust the old one out.

That is what I am thinking.

I did 6 yesterday by myself. Neighbor was supposed to help but, as you might expect, he was a no show.

Only 3 holes left so I am thinking they are his to complete. Besides, the posts are on his side of the fence. Looking for a way to make his job harder and him more miserable for at least not returning my calls for help.

But I am way too ADHD and **** retentive to not try to make it look symmetrical and "perfect".

Go to Home Depot and rent a 60 lb jackhammer and two mexicans. Jack hammer and shovel. Don't take out any more than you need to.

Yup

I'm about to go outside and tackle some posts myself.. Done it many a time, cheap ***** landscape timbers break off right and the concrete level. I dig around the concrete as much as a need to wrap a chain then use a Hi Lift Jack to jack it out. There's nothing easy about it, but when you're done doesn't take much to clean up the hole

Dig around the concrete enough to get a chain around it and jack it out with a handyman jack.

Chain and a hi-lift jack is what I use, dig down just enough to wrap the chain around the top of the cement and jack the whole thing out.

I moved.

Boom done, four posts dug out, set and rehung in about 2 hours...

The jack breaks and I won't do it, simple as that.
