Pour concrete patio under existing deck. What to do about deck posts?

I'm looking to clean up/update/expand my back patio. I think it's too shallow to do a deck so I'm looking at a concrete patio. The main patio will be easy replacement (where the tile is). I'm curious if anyone has ideas about the existing deck posts I would like the patio under the deck to be the same depth as the deck. I would prefer to dig piers where the posts would land and have the posts on the pad. They are currently on concrete pads at soil level. I just don't see how this is logistically possible. I also don't think pouring up against the the limestone retaining wall will work well. submitted by /u/NightBlade23 [link] [comments]
