The time has come to reproduce the balustrade on the roof of the front porch....
starting with the posts.
Using a post found in the basement, we started and assembly line.
 |
| Fir boards are cut to size |
 |
| Pressure treated wood is run through the table saw and given a bevel . Result....8 post caps |
 |
| The fir boards are primed and nailed together into boxes |
 |
| Each box forms a sleeve around the 6 x 6 pressure treated post built into the roof structure |
 |
| Each post box is leveled and attached, leaving an inch of space between post and roof |
The next carpentry project for me is fabricating the rail and building the balustrade.
