OOps, Just reread, realized I missed the step about continuing to lift another inch (and another!!) until you're at the desired height. You might get cocky and decide, after a couple of lifts, to bite off more than an inch at a time. But remember the first and second rules.

Sounds like a great project, First rule: Don't stress Second rule: small steps I would set new poles the required length in new holes right beside the old poles, then go and lift one old pole an inch or so. Clamp it to the new pole (for stability) Move on to the next pole. Repeat till the whole...
