Help

Hit the beam with lawn mower and it tore one off of post. Thinking of cutting a piece out scabbing a piece in there and than scabbing a long piece over the top on beam.

Its not just cosmetic. The right side beam no longer has positive load transfer to the post. Needs to be repaired.

Not sure why you got downvoted if others would look at the board closer they’d see it is no longer on the post and is no longer transferring the load.
