porch posts


more great old porchposts
saved from the burn pile or the landfill!!!

these big cupboards, like the one on the left run about 4 ft wide and 7 ft tall, usually $300 to $400 depending on the post...sometimes we put old tin on the back....
.we usually have lots of posts on hand for between 25 and 50$...
the picture on the right is of the doorway to the back porch....it was framed out with parts from a wonderful old porch.... has all kinds of neat parts going across and out and sideways...carpenter gothic i guess.....we put an old window with criss crosses above ..wade painted the flowers...

most older guys just dont get this whole idea, ive had a couple of guys come in , see a porch post priced at 30$ and gag because they burned their old porch after they tore it off....i can use about any part of an old porch and love it when someone brings me the parts....
