No road...no problem.
What is wrong with these porch columns? The capital and column are tied together with two 1/4” screws and the capital is secured to the beam with another pair of 1/4” screws. The base is what concerns me the most. The columns are floating and suspended by the anchor hardware. The capitals are checking like crazy (falling apart) and need to go.
I would appreciate any input on what is technically wrong with this install.
I have replaced all the columns on the back porch with rough cut 6X6 and Simpson Strong Tie bases and hardware. Done away with the capitals but have heavy 6x6 decorative angle braces. I want to basically do the same thing to the front porch, but have a pesky HOA to deal with.
