Text message conversation. The first message sent, “Thanks, dad.” Two replies follow below. “They make a metal bracket that tapcons into the concrete and then your stand the 4x4 inn it. So it's kind of like a cup holder. Drive some screws into the 4x4 through the foot bracket. Then the 4x4 will go up under the deck. You really want to lift the deck a hair and sneak the 4x4's in so the weight of the deck is actually on the 4x4's passing the weight of the deck to the concrete the 4x4s are attached to. Then use metal hurricane brackets to secure the top of the 4x4's to the deck when the deck is resting on the 4x4's and everything is plumb and straight before doing the final screw attaching” “I'm thinking there must be a YouTube video somewhere”

this is the most my dad has ever written in a text message to me

Text message conversation. The first message is a screenshot of a Reddit post on /Decks. The subject of the Reddit post is, “Should I replace these 2 x 2’s with something thicker?” In the photo is a deck attached to the upper level of a home with only two 2 x 2 boards as support. Three text message replies to this screenshot follow below. “Way thicker. 4x4's” “On the corners. Hurricane strapped to the deck and concrete floor below” “See the flex in the 2x2's. You don't want that.”
