Rafters rotted at connections to beams

Rafter tails and beams all rotted

Someone did a repair before filling the column with stones and caulk, then a coat of Automotive Bondo to cover it all up. Know your contractor before hiring them, this outfit was a scam artist and this could have been a major accident waititng to happen

Closer pic of stones put inside the column where it had rotted

Tail on the left was original, We took all the old rafters back to the shop and cut off all the rot. We then made all the new tails fro the reclaimed stock. The tail on the left is original, the one on the right and the entire pile were made from reclaimed stock. Something to note: a local Lumber...

Rebuilt Pergola with a fresh coat of Primer and paint. Paint was by Windy City RDM

New 8x8 Treated columns were installed along with new 2x10 doubled up beams.
