This shows status Saturday afternoon. All joists up and blocking too. Pic cuts off about 6' of the left end of the deck. Taken from house 2nd floor. Lower-left, you can see the tape we were putting down over the joists. Sort of a rubbery-asphaltic stuff, is meant to help reduce water getting between joist and block, also to reduce water getting into joists at the screw holes. Even though using pressure-treated joists, I'm told is a good idea for max deck life.
