This is the kind of thing that breaks my melt as regards using timber posts. Wire as good as the day it was put up.
What is your "melt " ? When I was a young lad I used hear the grandfather calling people/ things that annoyed him a " whores melt " and never knew what it was ?
Sorry if its a bit off topic

Aaah, I was given to understand that "a whores melt" was referring to vaginal secretions from a friendly sort of a girl.........0 -

Say my name wrote: »Did you ever make a concrete post Patsy?
I think a few posters here use them but I wonder would it be worth making them yourself?
A few boards screwed together and you wouldn't be long making a few batches.
Often thought about it for hanging gate posts alright. You know the nice ornamental ones. I like these ones (from Moore Concrete).

Nice but would be a pain to stand IMO. Why not make a mould and cast in position.0 -

I had to change the hydraulic pump on the fiat recently. One of the bolts is in a tight spot between the pump and the block, so I put a blob of grease in the bolthole to hold the bolt in position before putting the pump in position.
I had to use a 3/8" drive 10mm socket to fit in there. Because I had recently changed the oil and filter and didn't want to lose the oil the front of the tractor needed to be higher than the back, so for the first time I used low 1st gear to drive it up on a couple of 4 inch blocks. Young mechanics need to look away now as timber blocks would have been safer, the jack is just in the pic for 'show', concrete blocks were 'handy' and 'convenient' at the time and I was not working underneath.

It's a fine line sometime between Guntering and Bollixing, and today's effort could fall into either catogary.
Cut a home made gaiter out of an old lawnmower tyre.
Let down the tube, and stuffed the gaiter in through the cut.
Remains to be seen if it stays in place.0 -

And put the rear wheels on blocks when doing the pto shaft seal0 -
