We bought this (unfinished) river front house in December and are in the process of making it livable. We are getting roof and rotting posts replaced soon and I am second guessing my decision to get 6” cedar posts! The current decorative posts look pretty bad- like toothpicks. I am hoping 6” posts will be substantial visually..... maybe wrapping the bottoms? Or should we do full 8” posts? I don’t think we will paint them...we will leave them natural. Thank you I’m advance!! (Yes this picture was me testing out paint colors lol)...
