I am used to seeing much better craftsmanship in something that old. I can't believe these haven't collapsed.

Meh, 2' isnt that far to cantilever. Im used to seeing mish mash bulshit in old stuff. In my experience there where a lot of amatures who where building things out of necessity.

Fair enough. Also, I think the saving grace is the decking, two feet isn't far enough for it to start bending over much.

That piece of aluminum flashing at the bottom of the vertical piece will support it for another 100 years. Lol!
