Delivery driver delivered fridge and proceeded to drag it across the hallway with fridge’s plug underneath the appliance gouging a ‘Harry Potter’ style mark in the floor. They won’t stump up repair costs as we signed an agreement that states in the small print that we are responsible for any...

As title suggests, I have nowhere to attach cleats at both ends because the bottom of the posts are rotten. Is the only answer to attach much longer cleats up the post or is there another solution? I’m not changing the posts!
