    Screw 2x4 to side of post. Lift out with high lift Jack.
    Unless it broke at the ground. Then….. well we know how fun that will be. 😂

    Thanks!!!
    But yup it’s a replay- broken below grade, held by panels and soft ground; déjà vu.

    Plan is to not take out this time- I’ll shift and adjust panels, problem is the cement base diameter they put in is as large as a parking light lot base!

    Base from part 1

    Balls.

    Dig enough to get a slip chain around it and lift it with a engine hoist?

    Trick is to lift as vertical as possible.

    Or do as I do and use it as an excuse to rent something fun to dig with.

    I wonder is you could lag or anchor some heavy duty hooks or eyes into the cement to lift it out.

    Digging out and refilling takes way more cement the second time. Or leaves the new soil around the post unstable.

    Wife texts me this morning, car is dead. She takes my Mustang to work which she doesn't like, heavy long throw clutch and just not used to it. Figured a light was on inside all night, and the 9 year old battery probably wasn't going to last the winter anyways so I grabbed one. Get home and try to start it before I swap the battery. Everything lights up except the temperature light flashes blue and red. Hmm, that's new and different. Check all the fuses and they are fine. Quick googling seems to be a wiring problem most likely or a dead starter. Try the tap the starter, thank you Subaru for making it easy to access (for real, it's easily accessible) on a faint hope it'll be that simple. It isn't. Check the easy to see wiring and can't see any problems, checked the grounds and they are fine.

    Going to find my code reader when the kids are asleep and if that fails it's time to call a tow. Hopefully I can get it dropped off tonight.

    Exactly!
    I may just dismantle so not to squash anyone and put temp plastic uline till March- to think about it lol.
    I’d like to use a charge or explosive this time but with my luck I’d be accused of something else

    I’m not feeling like manually mixing 20 bags of quickcrete to fill the hole.

    Soil very unstable had to do this

    No codes, although my cheap code scanner is quite limited in what it'll read. At least it talks to the computer so everything isn't totally fried. I'll get a tow tomorrow and let someone more competent than me sort out electrical issues.

    Try changing or charging the battery before you tow it away. Low voltage can cause all kinds of weird lights on the dash.
