my first daughter was born. She is someone to be proud of. Ever since she left home, she made it on her own, even when it got tough.

Not that mom and dad didn't extend a helping hand at times... but it came from us, no asking from her side.

Happy Birthday Ulrike!

Congrats, Moni, on a good job of raising a good citizen. For us to get our kids from infancy to self sufficient adults...is a job well done of course a little credit goes to you daughter as well. Bravo to both.

Yeh, you have issues that need to be dealt with. For starters, it appears that the addition is just sitting on the top of a 4x4? post and isn't tied to the post in any way. The post is splitting; the the add-on is trying to wiggle itself off of the post or the post is trying to wiggle out from under the load. Probably both. I see a remedial effort to tie the rim joist to the post with a wimpy little strap of sheet metal that is just nailed on. Forces of nature are giddy w/ that attempt. The corner brace in the 2nd & third photos would not do much in the best case scenario. Looks like it is nailed to only one one joist so it's doing exactly nothing. Just a homeowner here. Not a structural engineer but I see enough to know that you have Concerns and need to get some pros on site to evaluate sooner rather than later.

After I see some of the trouble my relatives kids get into, I'm glad both my daughters are in college, working part-time, and no babies!

Happy Birthday to your daughter! What a gift you received that day!

Hope you don't mind me asking, but how do you pronounce her name?

Always, I am from Germany. Learned English by watching TV. I don't know, how to do the pronunciation thing in writing.

In German, you just pronounce each letter in this name (she was named after my baby sis). LOL, I know that doesn't help you... but that's all I can say.

She has real problems with it, and uses Rike, and I know, how she tells people to say that.
