main deck area is 10x24' with a 4x8' "L" to it. So at the L, the total depth 14'. And yes, I suck at describing things.

I didn't secure the deck to my house - I placed the top boards so that there was about a quarter or 3/8 inch gap, and it's stayed +/- about a 1/8 inch in that time
Glad to hear they worked for you, so where did you get your blocks?

I noticed this; I built a small border with some ACQ and was actually surprised that it didn't cost and arm+leg
