    Trust me Stephen I was thinking that. No wonder people just leave it and shift a new post over but I had two perfectly good panels I could reuse
    So much for a relaxing Victoria day

    Good luck to ya, just coming out the other side of my basement reno. Another couple weekends of work and it should be habitable for the first time in our ownership.

    Rent a mini-ex at home depot or some other rental place? I only suggest home depot because they are central to most of Burlington. I would have given up long ago and either borrowed one from work or rented one.

    Yup im close to giving up lol- chipper gun went through concrete and I slipped into the 4 ft hole spraining my ankle- to make matters worse the chipper bit went deep into the dirt and I couldn’t get it out lol

    I thought of mini ex- just getting it home may be a problem lol

    i rented mini excavator to demolish a rear basement step. big mistake, designed to dig not lift. and it wouldn't pull the chinks of concreate out of the hole.

    best bet make an 4 frame out of some 4x4 lumber, buy a chain fall and winch it out. also could use a high lift jack and boards with a chain to lift it out. been down this road before and digging is the slowest hardest method

    How I've pulled footings in the past.

    -Get a piece of 6x6 or thick steel tubing.
    -Take my spare truck wheel and roll it near the hole.
    -Fire a 1" hammer drill through the side of the footing, toss a 1" steel rod through hole
    -Chain the rod to the post
    -Position the post over the spare wheel as the fulcrum
    -Have at it on the lever side

    If you've fully excavated the post you're really just trying to break the ground suction at the base to get it to lift. I've also used my truck to pulling by laying the chain over the tire then pulling with truck.
