  • In this video I demonstrate replacing a 6x6 post and 6x10 beam on an exterior overhang due to termite damage. The damage to the beam was caused by direct contact of the bottom of the support post to concrete without a metal post base. to hold it off the concrete. Dry rot started at the post bottom and termites followed the. post to the beam.

    Excellent! I've always been curious as to how a beam and a post of the roof overhang are replaced without the roof overhang collapsing during the replacement.

    Isn’t most of that beam good other than the part protruding beyond the roof? When the new beam tied back to the house don’t think its stronger than the original at that corner. It will rot again at the roof line again, see that all the time. Maybe cap it with galvanized sheet metal to extend the life.
    The post could be saved, splicing with new wood, epoxy and screw. Had a few done, still standing after many years, no indication of rot or weakness. Then maybe cheaper, labor wise, replacing with new post.

    Excellent video , would just placing a bracket on the cut end of the beam also work?

    Thanks. We have a carport that's attached to the roof of our house. We purchased this home 10 months ago in Georgia and whoever built the carport did not use metal brackets and attached the beams directly onto the support beams. We are attempting to sister the beams until we can hire a professional to remove these beams. My concern is that by hammering the support beams while sistering the beam we can crack the roofing material, and cause leaks, please advise.

      Not needed, gravity provides enough support.

    Is there any treatment you sprayed on the post ?? My concern would be that those little buggers will just appreciate a new post to gnaw on. Thank you for the video. It was very informative

      CHRIST accepts you right where you are no matter what sins you've done. He especially picks us that don't seem special in this life so that no man should glory lest it be in His eternal charity that saves us from our own corruptness. Saved by faith in GOD's blood for ever and ever. This life is a vapor. CHRIST is coming very soon. Seek evidence of Noah's flood. This world was judged once and will be a second time. Read Romans,Corinthians,Psalms,Prov.,Matthew, etc. Proverbs 18:2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his own heart.

    Did you replace it with pressure treated wood? doesnt look like it. pressure treated wood + solid stain = long lasting

    Question: How would I anchor 10 foot posts with vinyl sleeves to hold up the overhang on my porch. Would I shoot nails through the vinyl and 4x4, or would the weight of the overhang be enough to keep the post in place? I thought about taking a pocket hole jig and placing a screw through the vinyl and 4x4, but I don't want to damage the vinyl. How can I make the post secure and strong without damaging vinyl?

    great clip but i need to know the type of timber used. You also skipped a lot of detail by saying what you did instead of demonstrating. I am a untrained beginner, I want to learn all the details about the little things that you take for granted, eg: demonstrate propping up the house instead of talking about it.

    are permits needed to go into the wall? since it almost looks supporting. also, is there a minimum distance we have to go into the wall before toe-nailing?

    You're like this old house. You show the AFTER picture of how you remove/inserted something.
    Then explain how you did it but won't SHOW how you did it. Strange. Like a High School
    chemistry teacher. Only show half the process.
