They call me ... Sarcasmo
I crawled under my deck yesterday to spray for errant weeds and discovered a pretty significant structural issue. When my deck was built in 2007, the dirt around the foundation was not completely settled it appears. Well, in the 13 years since, combined with undersized gutters has led to a major erosion/compaction problem. The dirt around the post on that corner has settled so badly that the post has pulled away from the joists, I would say the hole is about 33-36 inches deep at this point.
My oldest son wants to be an engineer, so guess what? He gets some practical application over the next couple weeks INCLUDING some hands on work so he can appreciate the guys in the field. Digging holes and humping 80# bags of concrete in 30 to 34 inch workspaces should be fun.
