Re: Just A Historical Porch Renovation
Nice CC. Looks like you were working in a bubble. This looks familiar, I think I've seen it somewhere before.

Re: Just A Historical Porch Renovation
What is the material used at the base of the square columns? Looks like MDX. Wouldn't poplar be more traditional and longer lasting?
The floors look great!
