Good luck with the demo

Happy Friday
Enjoy the weekend

Thank you. I think I am going to drill a hole where my cuts will meet and score it as deep as I can with the Metabo. If I am not through it yet... Mr. Sledge and Mr. Spud Bar. Maybe a strategic Hilti-zation. Then there is the air chisel.
Have a good weekend.

You can look at the menu but you just can't BAMM!

Mornin!

I think Howard Jones wrote a Song in the 80's...."No One is too Bamm"

I think Your on the right track. Score it with the Grinder, Then Chip it out, there might be some Road Mesh (Wire Fence) in it.

Use a Simpson Post Anchor in at least 18" deep hole. That way if the Post rots, or is run into, You can unbolt it and stick in a new one.

Do You Guys use Sonotube ? Keeps the Frost from lifting the Concrete.

I have a feeling that Chocolate Brown Metal Flake is going to make a strong comeback next Summer...Look for Outerlimits to lead the way...

2 inch schedule 40 galvanized, baby. Double chain link gate.

We go down minimum 36 inches. For structural 4x4 or 6x6 we use biscuits at the bottom of the hole. Lots of guys put bolts in the post below ground for anchors.

Picking up boat from storage today. Always a good milestone of spring.

we had a great little birthday party for the twins yesterday. Felt good to be outside almost the entire day. 29 years ago it was a blizzard on that day!

[Ratickle]

The blizzard was a foretelling ?

Crap...It took Me 4 hours to set two 4x4's Yesterday...Friggin Palm Tree Roots are a Bear!!

Looks like Rain Today...

[Blue Oval]

I was told a palm tree does not have very deep roots? But I have never been on vacation with my shovel to check that.

The roots are not deep but spread out in the zillions.

Trailer tire question:

Triple axle. Maybe 10,000 pounds. 15x6 rims. Stick with 205/75R15 or step up to 225/75R15 and why?

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

I say 205 on 6 inch rims. I have 225 on 8 inch and the side wall looks good. Get 10 ply E rated.

[fund razor]

Hmmm. Have been looking at Goodyear Endurance (USA) to replace my Goodyear Marathon (China) and the 205 size is 8 ply, the 225 size is 10 ply.

Haven't shopped trailer tires in a while...

Batteries are bad enough, or expensive enough, anyways

Welcome to a new week, ENJOY

[fund razor]

I bought batteries a couple weeks ago. Inflation had found them.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

my 225 have 7 inch tread width. If you don't plan a long road trips 8 ply is ok. I bought 10 ply for long road trips.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

I'm on my last season the seventh on my DEKA Intimidator AGM batteries. They were worth the money.

I haven't had any problems. Knock on wood. My biggest concern is fitment on rim. I assume the 225s will fit. I KNOW the 205s will fit.

[fund razor]

Looking at Goodyear Endurance because USA.
205 is D rated, 8 ply.
225 is E rated, 10ply.

But... the D rating is still inside the ballpark, and what I had with the Chi-Marathons. Speed rating is N though. 87mph.
