Home – Timing of Home Repairs – Wednesday August 17, 2016

Yesterday I finished up a home painting project.

When I painted the house the molding around the front porch pillars where pretty rotted at the corners and would not go back around the pillar housings.
I decided they needed to be replaced and did not reinstall the original ones.
As you can see in this picture these pieces have two angles on them. Their is a 10 degree angle from the outside edge up to the inside edge and also the inside of the molding has a 10 degree angle coming down from the main pillar.  Last winter I cut all the pieces of molding out of lengths 2X4’s and over the last couple of days I got them painted and install on the porch.
I think they look pretty nice.

I titled this post “Timing of Home Repairs” because I removed these pieces of molding when I painted the house in 1980.  Some project just shouldn’t be rushed.
