Hello all,
If this isn’t the right place to post this I apologize, I wasn’t sure where this question would fall.
I have a custom colonial house with about a 3’ roof overhang between the 2 stories. The 4 columns that connect to that overhang roof and concrete are rotted and need to be replaced. The columns are hollow wood with metal anchors into the concrete. The anchors are rusted completely and disintegrating. I want to replace the posts and use aluminum plinth bocks underneath but do the plinth blocks need to be anchored to the concrete?
