Looks like at least your understructure was OK.  That made redecking mine easier too. 

Most of the original substructure was functional, allowing it to be used, with some shimming and jiggering and reinforcement, as a platform for a new substructure which will bring the new deck level with the adjoining deck, eliminating a somewhat dangerous change in elevation between the sections.

The original deck included a pergola supported by four "natural" posts set in concrete. One option would have been to remove the largely pointless pergola. The other option is to frame around the posts -- which is what Janie is working on here.
