If possible, I think a lap joint cut into the deck
post would work well. I'll have to pour a footing, but after that is
done, I think I could put in a lap jointed post and lag the two posts
together. I'd sure like to hear some comments about this idea.
Thanks.


How high is the deck? Do you use the underside as a patio or anything? Is
it visible? It may be possible to just add a new post next to the old one
and then cut out the old one flush at the bottom of the skirt.
