I've seen more than my fair share of carpenters, handymen, home improvement contractors, homeowners and the like that have either installed or replaced porch posts, and have done it incorrectly.
When strong winds come into play and the bottom of a post isn't attached to the decking, the post base can move and when the wind rests the roofing back down, the support is no longer there and severe damage is caused. It's also true for the occasional accident where someone hits the post with a zero turn or rider lawnmower.
If you have porch posts that need to be replaced, this video will show you everything you need to know in order to safely and effectively change them out and I bet most of the time you will find yours isn't attached properly and so if you follow what you learn in this video, you will have a far better product when your done.
