How to replace rotted porch columns with structural new ones
In short: This video demonstrates the process of replacing decayed wooden porch columns. Under the guidance of Tom Silva, apprentices learn how to position and cut new structural and decorative columns to rebuild a front porch.
The project involves replacing old, rotted wooden columns with new ones that serve both structural and decorative purposes. To facilitate the installation, the porch roof is jacked up so the apprentices can accurately locate the position for the new columns. The team, including Bailey, Austin, and Nathan, follows Tom Silva's instructions to cut the columns and slide them into their final positions.
