    A lot of people don’t realize it but you have to check the grinding/cutting disc and make sure the RPM’s are rated for the grinder you’re using. If the grinder has a higher RPM rating than the disc it can break apart. Always wear gloves and a face shield.

    You should put a footer on each side of the sewer pipe and then triple the joists going between them to make a short header to set your post on. It’s a short span and preserves the aesthetics of your porch. The extra joists will be hidden behind the front one.

    If you have not already done so, you should be maintaining a plat plan of the property around the house. This is important as it can measure and have locations of all utility lines and distances on and around the house. Having this would have eliminated the problem of a post base measured onto a sewer line. It is good to see some progress again....

    Very nice homestead, would it be an idea put Fire precautions on the property.
    There's a pic from West America showing a property survived forest fire because they left the sprinklers on. There were sprinklers on the roofs - be a pity loose the lot all at once.

    If u pull the string from one point to the other, wrap it around the post u want it to go to & pull the long tight string back over the loose string u are holding and thetre is no need to cut it and it will not slip. U can do this method from one place to another and never cut the string ever again.

      And a wheel guard needs put back on that angle grinder it may of saved you from that cut up finger. Plus you both need to be a bit more safety aware! I was glad to see Juls tie up her hair and tuck it down her shirt then wear a cap but replacing the disc guard and wearing safety face shield or min safety glasses and a pair of Kevlar gloves would have been nice and wouldn’t like to see that pretty face of yours all cut up my brother in law had a disc break apart and like you had no safety gear on a part of the disc just missed his jugular vein by the thickness of the blade 2mm so less than 1/8of an inch and he’d of bled out in minutes as it was he grabbed a bath towel and pressed it to his neck and got driven to the A&E at the hospital and then the doctor had to pry the towel away as he wouldn’t let go of it from his neck in case he’d caught the jugular. 😢
