Well last night I went to go out and shut the gate only to find that the post had come away from the wall again. I guess its only to be expected as I live in a victorian terrace. Still I was surprised at how easy it was to repair. Me and my son set about removing the rotten wood from the solid stone wall, then we packed it again with new wood, which we cemented in. While this was setting we bashed the screws out of the post and found some new ones.
Once the cement was set, all we had to do was line it up and use a power driver to screw the post in position. Job done.
Now all i have to do is to cement around it.
isnt it funny how once youve got some good advice and had a go, DIY isnt that hard at all. So what are you waiting for get on with it.
