Very nice web site, the videographer side of you shows in the nice layout.. and your venture into carpentry is excellent too. Congrats on the "deck of the month" at Dek Block...
Just a tiny word on landscape decks and using a floating system.
Generally to code a landscape deck isn't connected to your home, or above 36" (32"). BUT, even though you don't need to have an inspection to build a low level landscape deck you do need to take a few things into consideration.
Check your local codes, above ground blocking isn't very stable and is not up to code for a lot of the country, high wind and coastal, flood or earthquake zones for example.
You may in your area use these type of block sytems atop of a proper pier & footing however.. then again, not in zones where there is a possible termite infestation. Most local and all national codes require a 1" seperation from the post to the concrete pier.
Never connect this type of deck in areas that freeze to your home, or any perminent structure you will get damage from frost uplift.
