Repairing a fence post - part 2

Too reuse a concrete plug, the plug must be strong and intact, as well as secure in the ground. First measure the hole to determine if a modern redwood 4x4 will fit inside (3.5x3.5, or you can have a post milled to the exact size if it is an odd shape, or old style rough cut lumber as in the example below).

First remove the rotten fence post and dig out the rotten wood lining the square hole in the concrete plug. A crowbar and your gloved fingers works the best for this.

Dig down as far as you can till you hit concrete or very packed dirt:
