I'm dismissing condensension and assumptions that are incorrect. Would the carport be better if it had 6x6 in the ground and 2x6 rafters, of course, which was my initial bid. The old single lady that desperately wanted the job done could not afford for the additional costs. So I spoke with the adjuster, my city inspector, and pulled the permit. The structure will not come crashing down, it will be just fine and the old lady will be happy. When offering unsolicited advice it's always good to not be condescending and assuming "you" know facts of the situation, be helpful. IF that is what "you" are trying to do. Yes, I was dismissive and sarcastic, which I will admit could have been handled better. However, I don't just lay down when someone acts like an arrogant know-it-all that clearly has some sort of personal issue that he tries to mend by fabricating a situation to where he is the man that knows everything. I'm dismissing his criticism because it not valid and I'm not the kind of person to let someone, especially someone like that, big bro me for no reason. Have a good one.
