I'm relatively new to the home repair scene because it wasn't until recently that my home needed some repair, I got the inside covered, but the outside is in need of some help. I have a porch outside that is your standard six step porch to the front door and it has a beam that supports the small portion of the roof that hangs over the proch.
The beam itself is rotting on the bottom, well, not so much rotting, but inhabited by chipmunks. It looks like the lower 7" of the column needs to be replaced. There was also some moulding around the base of the column which will need to be replaced, but I've done that before. Any ideas on how to fix this sucker? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
