Making Deck Boards Conform to a Round Column

The time has come to lay the deck and make it conform to a round column. Luckily we have years of experience.

We made a jig out of plywood, laid the decking across it, and cut the deck boards to fit to the stencil.

The finished product with the decks coming together at the South-East corner.

Rebuilding door frames in the basement of an 1815 home

Faked out beam using antique pine

Quite difficult to glue up warped antique pine, but the goal is to hide a steel lintel in an 1815 home. Once installed, no one will know this isn't a solid 3" by 16" hunk of tree, just like the old lintels in the rest of the house.

Porch repair

RBVa doing one of the things we do best: lifting a porch to work on the structure underneath it. I'm at the bottom of the tower, looking up two stories to where the shoring jack meets the structure, with our crew stationed in between. I'll have to post the view from this jobsite. Amazing location to work.
