Front porch re-do
On Sep 21, 7:00*pm, a wrote:
Just redoing the front porch - ~5'x6'wide. *It's only ~3' high and there are cement steps. *It's rotted all to hell, but my only question is what's the common wisdom on attaching a ledger to the foundation (really hard - poured in 1954). *The 2x6 that's there is only nailed - and those nails are *badly* rusted - some right through. I bought some 6" galv. lag bolts (3/8) and planned on using lag shields. *I have since done some looking and people seem to be weary of them. ? a http://www.confast.com/products/double-anchor.aspx |
