 | I have been saving these columns (that I pulled from a dumpster) for six years just for the general store. All the posts are secured to concrete footings. I installed flashing behind the backboards for rain diversion. |
| I replicated old siding by milling discarded fence boards. Friends gave me the antique windows and door which had to be rebuilt. |  |
 | I mixed some old paints to get an old white look for the first coat. I put tar paper on the roof and flashing on the upper corner. |
| I painted the posts and trim a light brown and did the window and door trim in rust red. I then installed electrical wiring for the lanterns. |  |
 | This project had a lot of detail painting. |
| You can see the router lines that I put in the 2x4 to match the poles. |  |
 | After making the signs I stained the deck and hand rails. Then I started placing stuff on the porch. |
