How to Trim a Post 

Use a rubber mallet with a block next time so you don’t blow huge dents into the posts lol.

I would have shimmed the post so that it was supporting the house a bit so that time would not make that part sag. Then the post would be tight. Raise front with another post and hydrauluc lifts. shim old posts, lower lifts. Then put decorative trim around post bottoms. Just hate seeing the loose post.

I know for a fact PVC and Azek trim were out 3 years ago... hahaha... This little wood trim is going to rot completely out in a year or 2 with some good moisture and rains

Nice, 45° cuts🎯

Thanks really good job and video

Jacob actually if you watched the video the metal anchor was holding the post off the cement and it wasn't in direct contact.

Should i do this or brick wrap?

Your new house... Because This Old House was taken

everybody wants to show how to trim a square post but no one wants to show how to trim a round post

Shoe on an exterior post? 😂
