I set my last post on my project to replace all the +50 year old 4x4's with proper embeds and upsized lumber. Today was the corner post which was a 6"x 6"x10' which must have weighed 200 pounds.
I put the 6x6 in the back of my truck, lined it up with the embed and dropped the bottom corner down to the catch the edge of the embed. I slowly backed up the truck and up stood the post. I clamped on some plywood to keep it lined up. A few taps with a heavy hammer and it was in place. Simple and pretty easy.
Now I ready for the next tornado or hurricane warning.
There's 14 bags of concrete there and it goes up under the slab about 6"
I swear it's plumb. I must not have been holding the phone right.
Next project: Expand the deck. Stay tuned.
