<-- Restoration home A client needed his porch rebuilt. I was booked two and a half years out, so did a little shoring up at the first floor level to buy some time until I could rebuild it, then kept an eye on it. Now, two years and a lot of deterioration later, I determined it needed more serious shoring up to keep it from collapsing over the winter. Next spring I'll be rebuilding it, which primarily involves replacing the beam structure at the level of the first floor ceiling, rebuilding column bases, and replacing a lot of flooring. Nine photos: (2023 note: The shoring is TOO good. It could last indefinitely. Thus, the client has delayed the porch rebuild until 2024 or 2025.) <-- back to Restoration home |
