Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

I need to get some firewood myself. There was more to my concrete story I didn't tell. In the sidewalk area I had exposed a footer I poured with post in it from my youngest son's swing set close to 30 years ago. I had hoped I could break it up enough to allow pouring over it but that concrete was tight. So it had to come out and it was very heavy. I dug down some around it. The upper part was flared out to give a more secure footer for the swinging action. I was able to put a chain around it below where it mushroomed out. I used my antique Hi-Lift jack to hoist it up up from it's perch. Then horizontal to drag it out. The hooked up a long long chain to my Suburban to carefully drag it to the driveway. It all worked out using what I had to work with
