Car Jacking!

This year, I will be bringing a small piece of sturdy metal that I can fit over my rebar.

In the event that despite all other efforts, if that rebar won’t budge, I will use that piece of metal and my car jack to get the rebar out.

Tips

  1. Since the metal makes an angle with the car jack, it will want to slip away from the rebar. If this happens, simply tie the top of the car jack to the rebar.
  2. The car jack is still pushing the rebar up at a slight angle to what it was driven in with, so periodically  rotate the car jack partially around the rebar and try again. This seems to make things proceed more quickly.
  3. If I have to do this, I will be sure to clean and re-grease my car jack.
