Tech debt can stay in the backlog

I like how they have a thicker piece of wood for holding up the roof than for holding up the deck + roof.

If this one was built like the one I took down, some, maybe all, of those boards on the bottom run into the structure itself for support, and those are beefy boards, especially on their side like that. Mine was supported with those and diagonal supports just to prevent sag.

Id guess they are replacing ground-tied supports, and those are just to keep the small bit of pull from causing damage to the roof and stuff while they swap them. Just long enough for the photo.

That or its completely floating and the boards are just for a laugh.

Looks like it's properly cantilevered into the structure of the house. I don't see any joist hangers or any hardware that would indicate a need for additional ground support. It's possible it could be hidden under the siding, but if the deck was being supported at all by the 2x4s they are warped enough where you would be able to see some sag. Most likely theyre there just for laughs.

Though, that roof looks like an add on by the owner, and could be problematic if it snowed a lot.

good thing we won't have to deal with snow much longer, with the world being on fire an all 😭
