Thanks to all for the kind words, ideas and taking a look.
Cameron, I think I've seen some of that. Even some of the pressure treated lumber will rot in the ground. Some is marked for ground contact and some says not to come in contact with the ground. We have ants up here than can do a job on PT lumber without touching the chemical protected area.
The bottom of mine is held about an inch or two above the soil by the rebar.
