You're a hard man, Charlie Brown. Hope you had enough help!
That's why I work with mortar, lol.
I hope you were the pointer man. Somebody's gotta do all the yelling and pointing.
Looks like it's sitting on toothpicks.
You putting knee braces on that?

Strong-Drive® SDWC™ TRUSS Screw
This structural screw is ideal for fastening trusses and rafters to top plates and provides a secure stud-to-bottom or stud-to-top plate connection as well.
You do know they make a gun for that right? There is also an alternate connection using Timberlock screws.

Oh yeah, it's definitely getting braces.
I'm aware of both the gun for those straps, and the screws. The GC on this is pretty old-school, though he's not much more than half my age. Working on eddicating him. So far, he's not biting, but I'll wear him down--especially since he just lost the grunt he's been using for several years to do that sort of thing.

Damn, Tin! Everybody's a critic! Lol

No kidding. Plan is for double 45° braces on each post (and they're well concreted), 2' down and 2' out, making them about 3' long. My gut wants them to be bigger, but not my call.
What does the Collective say?
2' should be fine. Victorian structures used 4X4 posts and pretty short braces.
Skil makes a worm drive version of that now. đź‘Ť
Love mine, only complaint is when I'm cutting fence posts down to height the dust port points exactly at my face from about 18" away.(which doesn't stop me from continuing to do it) I got bigger better extension cords recently which makes a difference........
The Makita in that pic is pretty much maxed out on 6x6. Not sure if anyone makes something that can do 8x8. Nevertheless, it's a great tool to have in the arsenal.
