Before I post on the new deck, let's take a look at the old deck.
Here is the deck we tore out. Cantilever is almost 5'. The living room is the portion of the house jutting out into the deck. It was supported by posts using these little bases bolted to a concrete slab. They were up to a 1 1/2 inches out of plumb. Notice those braces jutting out from the bottom of the living room support posts. Those 2 braces were attached to the deck fascia and holding up a 18' wide section of deck. Some of the deck piers were sitting on older precast piers.
