Mission accomplished. What a PITA. :BangHead:
The metal under the porch roof has almost half inch deep pattern. Rather than shim above it, they crushed it. Plus the bottoms sit in little divots that are not equal...Making it nearly impossible to get good measurements. The front 'beam' is 3 2 x8 or 10s sandwiched together and had almost no flex. So I attached the posts where they were and they didn't touch the concrete. :BangHead: Was able to pull the metal loose and get some spacers under it though. So, in the end they are supporting and metal not crushed as bad as it was. :thumbsup:
