Are those load-bearing furring strips?
No. Remove the 2x2s, you’re fucking up an otherwise good aesthetic.
Just kick them a bit to be sure they are correctly attached.
Technically, you could remove them and it would have nearly the same effect.
Funny. Nice cantilever balcony

All that wood is quite weathered - I'm impressed it's stayed up that long
I'm guessing those pretty beefy joists are cantilevered, and the 2x2s are unnecessary. They were likely added for the joke.
That thing is waaayyy too long to be cantilevered. 24" of max overhang is a pretty typical standard for deck. That doesn't include the roof. Even with that, they would need to have modified the supporting exterior wall to handle the extra load.
The question is when not if it's going to fall off the house.
Might not be that long, they could have easily had it all lying around. They don't seem like the type to go out and buy new lumber just because.
Looks swell... would def hang after 4 of them 👉🤩🍺🍺🍺🍺👍
Chair needs to be closer to the front, otherwise it's a wasted view.
No, evil grin.
