Shoring at Stair Tower (Steel) |
|
|
Cedar wraps at the bases of the fir posts trapped water and escalating decay
|
| Many of the posts were found in need of replacement once the wraps were removed |
|
 |
Steel shoring posts were used to support the stair tower during post replacement
|
| Treated 10” posts are not readily available in appearance grade timbers. New treated posts were sanded. |
 |
 |
Corners were routed and the posts were primed to improve the appearance
|
| Ray secured new galvanized steel straps |
 |
 |
Steel straps were a structural improvement over wood wraps
|
| One year after repairs |
