REPAIRING ROT

   The day before I left town to spend some time at the beach,  we began rebuilding the rotten wall in the library. 


Removal of the window and wall revealed rot to the support beam. 


In order to repair the beam we had to remove several of the tongue & groove decking boards. Once enough of the boards were removed, we jacked up the porch floor and supported it with pressure treated 4x6's on concrete blocks.


While I was out of town the guys continued the repairs and, when I returned, the door had a new frame and sill and the library had a new wall.
