<description><![CDATA[It sounds like a daunting task to replace a broken fence post but it is not as difficult as it may seem. It does take a bit of elbow grease and a few simple tools you probably already have in the shed or garage. Where do you start? First you need to assess the project and the damage. Did the post rot and just break or was it sheered off due to some nasty weather conditions. Is there still a remaining stump or is it broken off at the ground or concrete level? Typically, most fence posts are set into the ground using concrete but others are installed using packed dirt in the fence post hole. First you will need to remove the old post and concrete and once removed, install the new post in its place and re-attach your fence panels. If you have a couple of hours set aside, and a small number of tools, you can do the project yourself, save money and feel proud for accomplishing something that seemed quite difficult. Continue reading and I will step you through the process and you can fix your fence over the course of a weekend.]]></description>
