Your updated draft to follow, Your support is for a beam, not a joist. (terminology.) You're understandably anxious about the top of the supports, but what about the base of the "notch" It is the base surface for the beam, and it could be more worn than the top of the support, as moisture can get accumulated there. You might want to test the post with a pick there, to ensure the bottom of the notch remains intact.

Hello Ethan and all,
That sounds fantastic, Ethan! One cherished recipe I have involves crafting homemade pasta. I use a blend of semolina and eggs for that unique texture. It's swift, rewarding, and always popular.
A useful tip I'd highlight: always season your boiling water. It elevates flavors, particularly with pasta.
Enjoy cooking!
Best,
Jessica

Good day everyone,
Ethan, your risotto sounds superb! I enjoy playing with flavors as well. Recently, I perfected a dessert dish pairing chocolate and berries. It's the perfect blend of sweet and tart.
Jessica, pre-seasoning water is brilliant advice. I've embraced a spice mix approach, pre-making mixes of spices and herbs. It boosts flavor and minimizes anxiety.
Eager to learn more!
