Basically the design was to expose the metal hardware but in doing that the metal bolts created an open gateway into the wood and so removing the bolts we found everything had rusted meaning the moisture was getting in – certainly not helping the overall upkeep. So wood plugs were made and fitted into the columns and now the first finish coat has been applied. And honestly as much as this has been a real source of anxiety for me (along with the dry rot in the wood on the addition which I now understand, was too low a grade of cypress, galvanized nails weren’t used, the boards were not primed end to end and back and front BUT we are doing a patch rather than replace – this product that stops the rot and seals the wood and then you just sand and paint), driving up and seeing the beautiful mahogany columns today made me stop and say Yay!<\/p>\n
