It’s raining…hang on a minute, I’ll get my hat!
Sorry got tied up on here a little!
Core drill around bolts.
Remove.
Set new bolts into existing holes and secure with resin bond.
I’m sure I’ve read something similar…somewhere.
and use bolt croppers to remove the chains/padlock 
C’mon Mr Floydy … we need further entertainment.
WITH PICS
Well I tried to tap the bolts around a little but I still couldn’t get them out. So I got frustrated and bashed them all into the ground lol.
I don’t know if this will work, but I’ve taken photos and tried to copy them here:

After:

I give up trying to get the URL right. It doesn’t work!
Yeah but if they wanted to get into my garden, even with gates, they could just use a sledgehammer.
So how do I transfer my camera pics onto the forum? I’ve tried to copy the image into the box but there is no option for a “copy link address” and it won’t work.
This saga is all becoming a very large molehill now.
? Hopeless.
Upload to a host site which lets you download to a website.
Photobucket is no good for this now
I’ve been trying out ImgBB.com

Oh I can’t be bothered, Rachel, but thanks anyway. It’s really not worth the hassle and life’s too short.
I think I’ll wait until I get the whole thing finished and post a pic of the completed venture!
You can email them to me and I’ll put them on here if you like.
Let me know and I’ll pm you my email addy
Thanks but it’s not even worth the effort for you or for me, Rachel. Who really wants to see a couple of pics of bolts in the ground on a dull and wet Tuesday afternoon?
We’ve all got better things to do with our lives, or have we?!
oh pooo
Anyway, so where were we…?
Right. So now the top of the bolts are level with the ground. I won’t need a grinder anymore and my next option is to make new holes for the new bracket and post with an SDS drill, which I’ve seen my neighbour about and I’ll do this on Friday.
I’ve measured my gates again and I can get around the dimensions by moving them an inch or two to the right - but I’ll need to trim down the fixed panel to fit into the other gap. Here’s hoping!
You could always set up a WhatsApp video session and we could watch you working on it…only joking.
Hey good idea
Tennis is boring now … women’s matches
How much time have you got, Bruv?!:surprised:
10 pages on how to get bolts out of concrete:lol:
Decided on a new avatar pic instead. I managed to get that right I think:017:
