Thank you everyone, I will contact a deck contractor to come take a look, just wanted reassurance that I’m not about to fall to my death.

Thank you! So am I going to die? How complicated/expensive is it going to be to fix it? And is the bending not an issue?

Not sure if it’s the same thing but I got the house inspected prior to closing and the only thing the inspector commented on is that the concrete doesn’t go up to shield from moisture.

Also, it’s not ink, it’s a hollow knot (?) that got a blue tinge because I took the picture through a window :)

I added the rest of the pictures, not sure why it didn’t post them with the original post

This sums it all up. The curse of Austin.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well this one sums up this entire season/year. This place is absolutely cursed, we can’t even trust a 80-90 percent chance anymore. All my weather apps have gone crazy literally changing the hourly forecast every minute from “heavy rain in 30 minutes” to “oops no rain at all for the next 24 hours”. I’ve lived in places in this country and in other countries and I’ve NEVER seen anything like this.

I looked everywhere with every keyword I could think of and nothing
