Header Question	I have a front porch, with 3 of the white columns (hollow, not wrapping a post). Porch is 7’x19’. Could I replace the three white columns with (2) 6x6 on each corner? The (2) 2x12 header is a true 20ft, and not spliced. Rafters rest on the (3) 2x10s from first photo. I have gotten various responses of yes, no worries to probably not. I’m not opposed to replacing with 3 posts but 2 is better visually, but structure obviously more important. I live in central Illinois for load reference. Thanks for any insight. submitted by /u/mcreed10 [link [comments
