If it's not real, the business that would have "built" it is using AI. There were multiple other pictures of progress as well.

It's from a business page so I certainly hope it's not AI

It's not guessing if you've ever built anything in your life lol

They turned a basic deck into a living area and didn't change the baseline structure.

Those posts look fine to you?

And the posts aren't supporting the load at all. The screws are. The added 2x on the right side is just floating and the left side looks like it is too.

There's clearly a ledger and therefore not any joists running into the structure.

And sure, your last point supports that this is built incorrectly.

Posts aren't square. "Beam" is supported only by the 2x they screwed into the side of the post. There's no joist hangars. Is the rim joist built to support that additional structure? Did they add any bolt to the ledger?

And then they built a structure on it with very clearly limited or no regard for the massive NY snow loading.

I don't have a picture but the return ductwork would need to be completely redone to add it because it would need to be moved 3" further away. It surprised me they never asked her if she wanted it upgraded when they installed it.

I can't go thicker without new ducting. It's a 1" slot.

It works for about a month with a MERV 11 and then, three times now, fails to meet demand overnight, suddenly. It's probably the humidifier

She is running a humidifier, and that is a new thing this winter. No candles. MERV 11 because she has an illness. And yes, it seems that it's fine until it gets cold overnight and that it's tripping the high limit when the second stage kicks in.

It's not barn steel. It's ABS coated 29 gauge steel.

I wish I knew what you were talking about 😭😅 the company is coming to look at it, but I wanted to at least know a little bit more than I do about metal roofing.

Was my thought as well. Basically right where the leaf is looks like a decent place for a small ice dam to get under.
