    They are generally independent contractors that pick up pallets from
    end locations to be reused. These guys are poor as dirt. They are about
    One step below roofers.

    ^^^^ correct. I've actually giving away pallets at truck stops because if I was picking up loads I'd need the room, empty trailer. I've bought pallets as well. The blue Chet pallets were worth $$$ as the shipper charged deposit for them.. NEPW will take all the pallets you have if they are a certain size as well

    There. Easily fixed with a a few 1x2 furring strips to shore up the structure over to that green thing on the left.

    Surely you jest..........it's easier to say what's been done correctly. Edit; I don't see anything that is built even close to correctly.

    I mean it looks nothing like the deck on my house that was completed some years ago however I don't know if it's different for smaller porches like this.

    The lumber looks really small and I've just noticed the posts are directly touching the joists.

    There's a reason I don't muck about with structural stuff

    Everything starts with a good foundation. This is not.
    2x4's nailed together and stuffed in concrete 6" below grade will be rotting away in a couple of years (if they're lucky). Down spout for the gutters will ensure that.
    2x4's don't have much strength laid flat, even with another one nailed on top of it and the ladder will trap moisture in between further accelerating rot. There is a 2x4 "support" over by the gutter down spout that's not supporting anything.
    The spacing between supports is excessive and would be like walking in an inflatable fun house (at least until something fails)

    Holy smokes I didn't even notice those were 2x4s nailed together, I thought those were 4x4s. Didn't see the floating 'support' either.

    I didn't know burying posts wasn't allowed... actually our old deck had that and when it was replaced the guys who did it said it was not even close to being up to code, even for the time it was built. So now I know a reason why...

    Thank you for explaining! 🙏

    That stuff actually does work. Before DEF diesel exhaust pipes on the bigger trucks used to have a coating of black soot. They would stink, emit blue smoke constantly and belch large amounts of smoke on acceleration. Thankfully that's no longer the case unless some jackass tampers with the system.
