The bet is two fingers blistered and a broken hammer handle. Caused by a mis-strike.
Anchor 1 - Removal 0

Might be round for that later... To knock the garage down around the ground anchor... Might be easier...

Okay here goes the culmination of a 72 hour thread....

Going for pry bar first

 

[roadrash]

has he finished yet..... having now seen said ground anchor im going for @simon the viking 1- ground anchor 0

 

[simon the viking]

One bolt came out easily... Rawl bit still in ground though... Other side seems far more secure...

Going back in....

 

[simon the viking]

Ouch... The anchors fighting back... Knuckles hit the wall

Unless your anchor bolts are a bit loose or the anchor itself is thin, I can't see a pry bar doing anything other than distorting the anchor....but watching with interest, it beats doing the decorating.
