Well, I have gotten started on the repair of the pillars. Luckily although the damage to one piece was pretty bad, most were intact. As you can see this was before I started. I thought that I had lost one panel during the spring storms but nope, it was right there.
So the building began. I am using Gorilla glue to put the panels together. I tried holding the pieces together using tape but nothing seemed to want to hold the Styrofoam together - not even duct tape. I guess I should have grabbed the clamps. Gorilla glue does recommend clamping. I was just hurrying a bit and didn't want to go and look for the big clamps. The smaller ones I had were too small. (Well, it appears that one of the panels didn't glue properly so I will have to find the clamps after all.)
So here we are with three sides glued together. Getting in the last side was a real pain. It was easier to do the first time before the top had been put in place.
So the pic below is how they are looking at the moment. I am planning on cleaning up the seams with monster mud before painting. After painting I will add the final details - moss, etc.
Next - repair the arch!
