Hey guys,
I am in a pickle. The guy before me (no names) on a fence job decided to use .065 walled galvanized posts on a fence set in a concrete footer. Wind blew, and over time, those very thin posts are/have bent at the footer.
My dilemma is, is there a way to save the concrete footer, and remove the old posts and then set in Sch40 galvanized posts in? I know that there are concrete drills/bits, but I know for a fact that the posts are 3 feet in the ground, set in concrete for the entire 3 feet. The concrete is in perfect shape, but all of the posts have some lean to them.
I am not the kind of contractor to set up a new fence when I know that when the project is finished, I won't be proud of it. I have walked away from projects before, but this is a big one. Shoot me some suggestions guys, I'm all ears!
Thanks,
Eric
