Near by their is a 150 year old 17,000 square foot Queen Anne mansion. It's getting a face lift by a large painting crew. I guess they had a little whoops with a lift and broke a porch column. The column also had lots of rot so probably would have broke if a feather hit it.

I get the call to do something.......and make it fast! Fast was the key word. With a large crew of painters and machines on site they wanted a fix now. The decision was made to just replace 18" of the post. The bottom is 8" in diameter and I didn't have anything near that big. Grabbed a bunch of 4/4 white oak and glued it up with waterproof TB-3.
