It's not hard to fix the support post. I agree with this guy do to it's location. It will look much better as a solid tile vs chopping it so you can fit it around both post sections. They didn't cut the second post, just the first one guys.
I don't know who to blame 😮 not even 1 person in that construction group realized any problem with this not even the owner 😕 WOOOOOOOOW. God bless them all
