I have to mount an exterior newel post to a brick front porch with brick steps and a concrete sidewalk. The newel will be made of rough cedar. My idea is to block it in solid at the bottom and drill a hole for a galvanized pipe or something else in the brick (and concrete walk at bottom), drive the pipe in and drill tight hole in base of newel and drive on the pipe. The newel will attach to a column via railings about 3 feet to the left. Any comments or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated
thanks
