Porch Floorboard Repairs That Last
Old House Expert Tom O'Brien Explains How
Recently someone asked us about replacing rotten tongue and groove porch floorboards
that were installed only a few years ago.  Our "Ask the Authority" expert Tom O'Brien
explained how to prevent the new boards from deteriorating as quickly as previous
repairs by, among other things, properly sealing them before installing.  Tom outlines
the process step-by-step in an article just posted on our website oldhouseauthority.com

promoters, helping to preserve their knowledge and skills while preventing the mistakes
in renovation that too often diminish the historic and architectural integrity of
old houses.   Contact us at 804.648.1616 or info at oldhouseauthority.com [mailto:info at oldhouseauthority.com].
