Step Two – Fence Posts

IMG_7633With any project, you start realizing that it’s never as easy as you first think and generally what looks like a little problem ends up bigger and more expensive to solve than you originally envisioned.

In this particular case, I needed to remove 3 fence posts that were originally installed when we first move into the house and we needed s space for our dogs when we had company in the back yard. The posts were cemented into the ground.

I initially attempted to dig up the posts and was successful with one of them but the other two were cemented very close the house and retaining wall making them difficult to remove.

A trip to home depot and the purchase of a reciprocating saw was the answer as I dug below ground level and sawed off the fence posts.

Here’s a link of the product I purchased – Worked great and its cordless capability came in very handy. I picked this brand due to its reliability and its cordless feature. I own other Makita cordless products so I am able to use the same battery on multiple tools. Very handy.

This product is also available from my favorite ecommerce tool merchant CPO Outlets through their merchant store at Rakuten.com and had I not wanted to finish the job that day, I would have order the product online.
