Posts attached to your front porch aren’t supposed to move. Especialy when they are holding up part of your roof.

But mine does. Rut ro.
The short term fix? Shims, a hammer, and then paint. I’ll probably have to replace them soon, but shims trump a possible collapsing roof any day.

Hey there! I'm Sarah. My favorite things: 1) tearing my house apart and 2) putting it back together again. I occasionally talk about other things, like life and food and travel, but it's mostly my obsession with DIY and power tools that you'll find here!

  1. Was this something that happened over a long period of time, and you just noticed it? Or did this suddenly happen in the wake of a freak earthquake or something?

  2. No earthquake :), I just live in an old house that constantly has weird things popping up. I wouldn't have noticed the post problem had I not been leaning on it in exactly the right way during some recent outdoor fixes.
