Show j Removing Fence Posts. I A laborer 'was sent to remove a number of fence posts from an old fence. The job would have taken a half day of ordinary work, says a j writer in the Popular Mechanics, but ; two hours later we found him asleep In the shade, and the posts all removed. re-moved. We let him sleep till noon, as we thought he had earned his rest. His method of removing the posts was very simple, as he used an ordinary ordi-nary gravel pick, drove the sharp point Into the post close to the ground, put a hardwood block under the pick and pulled on the handle. The operation was repeated as the post was drawn out of the ground. |
