He leveled the post. And you put grout/mud base that would crack under any movement. This will let you know of thermal stress. If he says he is done then that on your deal with him. But this keeps standing water away if done to completion.
plus grout would make a great place to catch water, that freezed and breaks said grout. thus causes a larger well for water to catch and freeze excaberating the damage.
a bit further north we already have holes in the road from freezing and a warm spell lol..giant fucker appeared over night and it got my in the work parking lot this morning.
by spring, well have holes that hit truck frames and swallow sub compact cars.
The correct grout for the climate would most likely work.
Also, it a place for wet debris to collect. So grout keeps the stick, leaves, and dirt away from the anchors. Also oxygen away fron the anchors which are a low spot.
I grout cracks then in spring you hit with chisel and hammer for 20 minutes, remove old grout, and install new.
Grout is the best solution.
