Lol. I meant with the new posts. They make these sleeve/bracket things that sit above ground to prevent rot.

I've never lived at a place long enough to see what works, lol. But I've pulled many decades old posts and they all rot right at the same spot.

Yup, every single one was rotted in the same place. I just thought it was from over aggressive weed-wacking while drinking.
Oh man, I really hate when people do that! Just dig an appropriate deep hole and sink in a proper size post. Wooden ones like this ALL go bad eventually and WILL need to be replaced. The concrete just makes life shitty in the future.The old posts are concreted in so when the post breaks at the ground level there is still a 3-ft diameter ball of concrete underground that needs to be broken into pieces or dug out.Where is the TNT or dynamite when you need it? Gonna need to drink the whiskey to kill the rotator cuff pain tonight.

But then, you're the one who has to deal with it now and not the previous owner so what do they care. Maybe you should do the same for the next guy

Look into using the treated round posts- 5” dia. My brother in law has a pounder for the back of his tractor that did a great job. Skid steers have an attachment that does this as well - they’re friggin nice.

Yup - did the same the first go round. We did about 300 posts back when I as slightly younger & thought that shit was fun….the thought of doing that now with a tractor with those shitty hydraulics…..barf
