Timber Bracket Installation Part 4


Here is the before installation picture. It's starting to rain so let's get busy.



All brackets are mounted to the timbers with forged nails. This is the front side bracket which is facing the street.


Next I installed the backside bracket which faces the front door. All the brackets were also glued to the timbers for my peace of mind.





Here's what the upper porch beams look like now with the bracket installed. Very nice, if I might say so myself.



Ok, I just had to put this picture in the blog to make you see the amazing difference these brackets are going to make. Obliviously this is the before picture.



















The right side bracket installed. This makes me very happy.



With the installation of the left bracket complete it's time to pack up. I couldn't get another overall picture taken because it was raining. It's hard to part with these pieces but I leave them with a good home and people who will love them.
