I am fairly new to any type of home projects. My wife and I bought our first house last year. One of the most important things we wanted to do (besides new windows), was to rip off the worn out front porch and build one a bit larger. I am going to use the Dek Block floating system. I have to say I am a bit nervous about it, as I am a "rookie" when it comes to doing this type of work for myself, but I am excited. I can't wait to show my before and after pics! Next sprint I am going all out, installing a french style patio door on the back of my house and building a larger 20x20 deck.

Sorry to say this but we do not reccomend using the peirs for habitable structures like your front porch. The blocks will be great for your back yard deck though.
