As title, I want to delete this post:

This is the base:

What is the most idiot-proof method of doing this?

Any images wider than 1280 pixels wide should be resized or placed in spoiler tags as ive done this time. setter.

I suggest you don't search the internet for homemade explosives

If you are happy with leaving the bit that's in the ground, a chisel+hammer to the bottom of it.

Etheco · 13 Jun 2016 at 22:26

Just sledge Hammer it?

OCUk has probably gone up the government watch list priority now.

Kango hammer ?
( hopefully you will take a video of its ultimate demise/toppling - per the professional demolition of buildings )

Assuming you don't care about the base, hire a breaker from your local hire shop. Will only cost about £40 for the weekend

Dig it out, loosen the Base and it'll rock out.

SDS with chisel function, or concrete breaker from tool hire shop which will go through it in around 30seconds.

I'm assuming the post doesn't wiggle around at all and is rigid in the ground?

there will most likely be a couple of rebar steal rods inside the concrete, I would suggest a hammer and chisel after going at it with a decent hammer drill to loosen the concrete or even just chopping it down with a stone saw or grinder.

You could rent a post puller for an hour.

SDS Drill with a chisel attachment

Armageus · 14 Jun 2016 at 16:30

Grrrr that title

Keep looking at it and thinking it needs Moderating

Flubble · 14 Jun 2016 at 23:13

would a farm jack work? i seen them used on fence posts, i guess it would be the same if you could get something attached to the side of it that the jack can lift up?

or just smash it up with a sledgehammer lol

Angle grind it off level with the floor would be my plan of attack.

Yep, 9" with a diamond blade would be through that in minutes if not less.

Kango hammer to dig it out and four big lads to carry it away.

If it's anything like the one we removed from my parents garden it'll weigh about the same as the moon.

Why it needed to be so well constructed for a washing line I have no idea.
