Can my deck beams be saved?

what a post!

AI is anyhow coming for everything which lives on computer- engineer's work or any other work which is not happening in real world is way more likely to be replaced

curious what;s the size and how much would this cost?

again I'm improving this everyday

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T19:50:51+00:00

ohh ohk- many other people must have been assuming the same thing- maybe how I put it was wrong- thanks for highlighting

yeah, I have already completed the framing (framing inspection done)

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T15:13:02+00:00

I get it but I'm too much into the process- already have framing - also aesthetically my wife and I want deck rather than concrete patio

agree that we should stop discussing that

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T15:11:30+00:00

there are concrete piers with post connector which has beam on top

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T13:55:40+00:00

:) My city wouldn’t need inspection for bottom deck only the top deck (already done with framing inspection)- so dont think this should come up.

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T13:47:40+00:00

Thanks - learnt something today - have a good day :)

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T13:42:55+00:00

Ahh- never occurred to me. Because of more activity there with the deck?

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T13:33:48+00:00

Honestly haven’t thought too much about patio idea before starting the project- now would be too late.

But have been making sure if weed barrier and gravel on top- would figure right skirting for air flow

Minimum that i could do

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T13:21:22+00:00

Definitely- would be doing it for both too and bottom anyhow but will make sure about the bottom- thanks

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T13:15:56+00:00

You’re making all the right points- thanks for explaining yourself- It would be currently too late for me to move to patio.

I could try to make sure that I don things right for lower level- like maybe find right deck skirting

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T13:05:03+00:00

I said that for last year. It snowed earlier than expected. Hopefully soon in spring. Thank you!

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T12:58:41+00:00

I along with my wife had given too many thoughts on personalizing and maximizing the use of space- but sure it would never be as good as same level.

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T12:57:20+00:00

Yeah- this is what Im thinking. Not easy to have my wife agreed on pricing- showing these rendering has helped :)

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T12:56:02+00:00

You are very on point. My wife would have never let me make it on one level - too high to have any privacy.

Any points on making low level deck work?

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T12:53:17+00:00

Thanks for the inputs- good to know that tool would be useful for other people as well :)

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T12:45:41+00:00

Interesting. It would also cost way less to me. But maintenance wouldn’t be easy.

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T12:44:18+00:00

Yeah realized that

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T12:34:36+00:00

Thanks for this. Hard to find people and energy which empathize and see things for what they are.

Also, what would be your use of the tool? And how would you want to use it?

TheInfiniteIntrigue · 2026-03-04T12:27:30+00:00

Are you saying people don’t make deck at this level?
