Nah, it ain't that bad, don't forget the rest of the lateral structure above spreading and sharing loads. You can see the big crack doesn't even go up beyond the picture and that's likely the same below...normal stress relief that found an edge. The front is normal checking too, they aren't quite connected, perfectly fine unless severely overloaded...timber frame buildings have these all over. Remember, each one of these are capable of supporting an entire car before they start to bow. Now, if a Hot Tub gets presented, then it must be replaced. | |
