Recycling Old Porch Posts for Use Video

Bob and Charlie look at a couple of the old posts that the architect intended to reuse. However, Charlie discovered that they had been reworked once before and when he opened them up and looked inside he found that they were hollow. To make them fit he'd have to extend them three feet longer which would involve a lap and since they're hollow they wouldn't be very structurally sound. So it looks like new posts will be in order.
