Hi all.
I'm thinking of replacing 5 porch posts. Right now, they're 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 squares posts. I'd like to replace them with the turned posts you can buy at Home Despot. You know, the ones that are square bottom and top with the centers turned.
Anyway, you can only get them in 8 foot lengths. That works for three of mine, but one of the others will be 3" short, and the other will be 1" short.
The one that's 3" short doesn't bear weight. It swings freely when pushed. I'm not sure about the one that's 1" short.
I was wondering if anyone could think of a good way to extend these two posts. Any splice, scab, or whatever will be somewhat hidden in back of a wood fascia.
Thanks!
