RE: Life Hack - Homestead Hack - EASY WAY TO PULL A POST! 📷 [Video inside]

in #life7 years ago (edited)

cool..I never thought of that.
back in the day when I was homesteading
I'd have done the same had I known

But I didn't so I used a high Lift Jack...

I used power line poles for my fences back on the Llano.

I sawed them into eight foot or ten foot lengths with a BullSaw.
Then I dug Post holes three or four foot deep and about a foot across.
then I drops a post in it....and tamped it down really tight.
30 years ago...still standing..

I got em for free when the
Power Company was replacing a few miles of poles.
"You Haul it, You can have it" the foreman said. So I did...about a hundred of them.
this jack came in real handy...when I discovered that
"oops..that post should be over THERE instead of over THERE.
only about $30 back then...double that now.
