You are so right Ferm, Thanks for the advice; I will slowly start to chain saw the old wood out and clean it up. Which one will you recommend base on the fact I am in Orlando and you familiar with the climatic conditions.
Arjay or Nadacore ?
Ferm do you think I should take this approach or the one on this site where a chain saw was used?

The one show on the hyper link seems to make the removal of the rotten wood easier ..
Please let me know , I will start tomorrow.
