Strange Deck connection

[Bill Penn]

I was at a condo today and saw 3 1-1/2" pipes sticking through the wall into the floor joists. Looked outside and they capped them with PVC and set a deck on them. Amazing! Sorry 2nd photo needs a 90 degree turn.

Should have pushed it off the pipes then wrote it up. :D

I have to say that it is creative.
