Ummm - right. OUCH !!!! Glad you survived to learn the lesson. When you recover, and need to remove another T-post, use a lever. 1 - it's easier, 2 - you are several feet away from the post.
I grab an eight foot (should be feet, but it sounds wrong) 2X4, some rope to tie it to the T-post, and an empty 5 gal can to use as a fulcrum. The greatest danger is from splinters. On 8/6/06, Christopher McCann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
FYI, don't ever try to get an iron T-post out of the ground by pulling on it really hard. They can snap, causing a blood fountain to come out of your head, followed by a 7.5 hour trip to the ER and 10 staples in your head. Pretty much ruined my weekend. CM P.S. The most soothing part (aside from ice chips when I nearly fainted) was the sound of the turbo charger spooling up on the Powerchoke engine of the ambulance. The driver noticed my cars and a lively conversation ensued on the greatness of old diesel Benzes.
