[QUOTE=donjamer;17184342]That's good.. Hopefully it doesn't need much rebuilding..

I removed the bad wood on Saturday. I'll be covering that area with PVC trim. Got to try to keep the water from getting in.

There are 8 sides to it. each side means a trip up and down the ladder unless my neighbor helps. One of us can yell down the measurements and the guy on the ground can cut.

Being it is a little out of square, each piece is a little different. If I had the tools then that I have now it might have been perfect.

Maybe you should just knock it down and do it right...

I think I'll continue with this one. As long as I can keep the water out of the joints I'll be okay. I'm sure it would be pretty expensive to start over with PVC.

The base or the section that sets on the roof is the only thing that I have to repair. The center section is in okay shape with no rot,and the roof section has no rot. I think repairing the base would be more cost effective. I made one for our other house but it was smaller and no longer on that house. The copper weather vane from the first one is on this one.

In 25 years I won't give a damn about it. I'll be 94 and in the nursing home if I'm still alive. LOL
