My mom sent me a message this morning letting me know that one of the decorative columns blew down during a wind storm.

As far as I can tell, they’re not really load bearing, as we have had to put shims under them because they could move around. These were made in the late 70s, so I’m sure that installation directly on concrete isn’t recommended.

I was considering cutting out the rotted area and rebuilding that portion. I was hoping for some suggestions on connecting it back to the ground and blocking support.

I’m a homeowner that’s familiar with woodworking, so opinions on whether this is truly something I could tackle, or whether we should get a pro out here.
