3. Holes are drilled at the marks (in the masonry, not the brick) and a countersink bit is used to ensure that the pilasters are flush with the surface before being secured with masonry screws (figure C). 4. Construction adhesive is applied to the back surface of the pediment before the pediment is secured into place (figure D).
5. Caulk is applied around each piece to ensure a waterproof seal. Screws and nails are also covered.

6. They begin by demolishing the old rails with a chainsaw (figure E).
