Hi All,
I have a porch beam that appears to have twisted on one end. The columns are due for replacement and I would love some help on how to repair the beam while I'm replacing the columns. I'm curious if it's as simple as replacing the columns on the straight end first and then wacking the beam back to the right position with the new column underneath the twisted area? Maybe using a slightly taller column to force it to stay in place? See Pics. There doesn't appear to be an settling of the concrete deck or movement of the porch roof so I'm not sure how the twist happened. Thoughts?
Thanks for your help!
