Next improvement arriving,
Your column is notched to hold a plank, not a joist. (semantics.)
You are rightly inquisitive about the top of the columns, but what about the base of the "notch"
It is the supporting surface for the plank, and it may be decayed worse than the top of the column, since water can gather there.
You might decide to probe the column with a chisel there, to confirm if the base of the notch is still solid.

Hey everyone,
Trust all of you are enjoying a pleasant day. I recently ventured into gardening and can't wait to exchange insights about simple but satisfying projects. My inaugural attempt was a small herb garden, and it turned out very delightful! Any of you with favorite planting techniques or tools you'd suggest
Looking forward to seeing what others are nurturing!

Best,
Mark

Hello Mark and team,
That sounds incredible, Mark! One project I enjoy is designing rock gardens. I often use unique stones for an exclusive aesthetic, and it's always gratifying.
Gardening hint: always prepare your soil well, it brings out the best growth and ensures your varieties flourish.
Enjoy cultivating!
Cheers,
Anna

Good day everyone,
Mark, your herb garden is fantastic! I love cultivating bonsai trees. They make excellent displays and allow for extensive creativity.
Anna, customizing with stones is a brilliant idea. I also think using organic fertilizers adds a natural touch.
Excited to share more soon!
Regards,
Michael

Hello everyone,
Great to hear about all the projects! I've been focused on growing small fruit patches. They're adventurous and challenge creativity with layouts.
A hint: always ensure safe equipment, especially if tools are sharp.
Excited to hear more updates!
Best,
Sarah
