So you end up with a dozen pairs of posts bolted together, with the original posts only going halfway up?

Hardly things of beauty, even by Thai standards!


Plus you'd have to drill holes through the original posts, while PEA 's are not only considerably bigger but have the holes already cast in to allow for it.

The PEA ones I saw were only about 6 in sq. Whatever gets done is not going to look super. Just a few blocks and it would all be hidden.

Looks like take off the first 600mm of concrete to expose rebar then cast new ones, seems favourite then?

Some super-size Roman Kings should do it!

Would I be wrong in assuming you are doing this to take the heat out Wasp? I see you tried the air bricks

Take the roof down, bulldoze the walls and free those Roman pillars of the burden my friend, buy them an awning in July

What's going on here ?

Another wraith climbs out of the Pit of Time !!!

Nice to see you again Dillzzy !

And yes . You would be wrong .
