Patio Work: Pulling Posts

After we cleared the main park of the deck, we had all the posts left.  We didn't see concrete, so we tried to dig a few of them up.  We got down about 2 feet with no sight of concrete or the end of the post.

Since there were 21 (!) posts, we decided to have the cement contractors take care of them when they brought their equipment.

Turns out it was a good plan.  Some of the posts were 4 feet in the ground with cement at the very bottom foot! The guys said they have never seen such a thing.

One of them said that if there was a tornado, he would have headed under the deck...it was not going anywhere!
