Kristen,

This project was so long ago, I’m sure I must have gotten the porch posts at Home Depot. That’s where I shop for such things.

Kevin,

I honestly don’t remember. I can’t find any pictures to elaborate on the situation. After asking cousin Terry, we’re not totally clear on how we did it. I apologize for not having more information for you.

I am going to remove iron post similar to what you had. My question is how did you attach the upper post to the roof of the porch.

No, Pam I’m sorry to say I don’t. Especially if they are as heavy as mine were.

In reply to Gail Wilson. Gail, I have 4 of the iron decorative posts. Do you have ideas on repurposeing them. I love them and hate to get rid of them.

In reply to Kaye Diehlman.

No, Kaye. I’m really sorry I have no idea. I had those old posts for so many years, I can’t remember where we got them. If you’re on facebook, I would start there and ask your friends and family for help.

lots of luck to you!

I just found your post on the porch posts. I’m currently looking for one like the old wrought iron ones you removed. Any suggestions as to where? I’m in central lower Michigan.

In reply to Mel.

I always thin and strain my paint. Is your paint water based or oil? You will love how easy it is to spray your shutters. Might I suggest you start on a piece of scrap wood or a spare thrift store find? That way you can get a feel for it before you tackle your shutters.

good luck, have fun!
