Bearing of Porch Piers

yes, I completely agree, but as you know, sometimes you cant access/see all parts of the attic. But regardless, whether it is a beam or trusses, I believe those columns are just decorative, and that was the original question. It would either be trusses, or a beam sitting on the brick walls.

Anyways, I’m sure most others on here are just like me, and enjoy reading these posts just for the learning and seeing new things if nothing else. Its always nice to hear others insights into each post, so that is mine…:grinning:

THAT, Daniel, is what this forum is all about…usually. :grin:

Absolutely Larry. Thanks

You’ve got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it. It’s called perseverance. – Lee Iacocca
