It's not US politics or Corona. It's a post.
FP Edit:
May you all be safe.
May you all have prosperity.
May you all enjoy the beauty that remains in the world as I have a tough time finding it on my own.
May you all enjoy porridge, sea slugs, badlyphotoshopped greatness, and logs soaked in wood.

This post needs to be removed because it might cause a fence

I was walking through the woods in New England, and noticed old rough round cedar posts outlining a corral among the trees. 1/
Heizenberg6
2/ I found 2 large horseshoes with my metal detector. The area dated to late 1800s and the posts were still there. Cedar's good stuff.

That local inspector looks a bit shady..

GrayHogan
Yeah but it's still pretty sturdy

You really know how to plant wood. I'm a bit of an artesian myself.

Imagine the cross section they had to do.

Fine post..,damn fine post.

I think rocks then dirt enough to level the post then concrete.
Yurets1257
I guess it should be sand in this case, not dirt
GrayHogan
I mean... Sure there are different ways.

What is the purpose of the aggregate
GrayHogan
Drainage I assume
JeffGoldblumsLeftNut
No one uses it.
OldElectronicsGuy
I used to cement steel posts and then attach a wooden fence to them.

In climates that freeze/thaw each year, I thought you were supposed to have the concrete end several inches below the surface, no?
GrayHogan
No idea.
bippityboppitybuttsex
You forgot to reference the frost line
GrayHogan
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
bippityboppitybuttsex
Perfect.

Is that silicon caulk? Or is there a different type it needs to be?
JeffGoldblumsLeftNut
No one uses caulk unless they are a pretentious stay at home nobody.
GrayHogan
Yes.
HenryLongfellowIII
You're letting that rabbit get a bit close to your caulk.
GrayHogan
Bunny Foo Foo guards the caulk

I don't care about posts but there is a cute bunny, so good post !

What’s the rabbit for?
bingobangobongoboom
Rabbit for scale? Or maybe just cause floof. Idk, I'm no scientist. Just a guy on the internet.

Watch out using gravel when you’re in clay soil! Consult your local county extension offices for best practices in your area/soil.

Sturdy too

Or... Or... Use aluminium. No rot. Cheaper. No issues. Wood on cement/concrete turns to crap in no time.
GrayHogan
But cedar looks good.
RandomGuy12345678910
Cheaper? Where do you get an aluminum 4x4 for less than a wood one? Not doubting, just curious.
JeffGoldblumsLeftNut
No.. just no. He’s talking about an alliminum mount that is attached to the concrete that the wood is then attached to above the concrete...
JeffGoldblumsLeftNut
alluminum, fuck you vodka
NotgonnaTellgoogle
Thanks for explaining. Lately I've been assuming people know what I meant. Thanks for that mate. And fuck vodka! Do gin.
PokingSmot
Never thought fences got caulked.
manamongstyou
Cement is super porous, I don't see what caulking would do. That's not a chem treated 4x4 either, so it would biodegrade rather quickly.
Mydogismybestman
Because most fences get caulk blocked.
Vaanhalen
They dont. This is beyond overkill. Anyone who has put in miles of fence has done it a very different way.
DarthRevan810
No such thing as overkill just superior quality, That is going to last.
JeffGoldblumsLeftNut
Yep. Fuck the aggregate, fuck the caulk, and the whole post will be treated if you care enough, its all or none.
TheZacAttack
I always use aggregate, but I only ever use wood for corner posts, everything else is steel t post
GrayHogan
Everyone gets the caulk.
Nalianna
The caulk stops the water from soaking the post. it's a caulk-soaker.
