Ok, so I'm already over $2000 into this project just in materials.
turns out my house does not have typical band and joist construction, instead it's build on Metal Plate connected floor trusses.
The inspector is basically saying that I can not attach the deck to the house because of that.
I don't want to cut corners and have the deck fall down but I also don't want to spend even more money to reconfigure the deck so that it's free-standing since there's a concrete pad underneath where I want to build the deck.
I'm so frustrated...
