You should put in parapets to protect you from retaliation for when you hose neighbor kids dribbling basketballs in the middle of the street.

If I had neighbors I didn't like I would buy a burner phone to call the police on them on first opportunity. But I like all of my neighbors and they would all say the same about me. I am an easy neighbors to get along with.

That breez/boris guy was like a Russian archetype. He drove an old BMW, wore tracksuits, loved hip hop and weapons, dabbled in script kiddie hacking type exploits, but was also pretty technically smart.

Why does your blocking seem so haphazardly placed?

Much more pleasing to the eye, I think.

Joists aren't all the same length

You don't, really. Movement makes people nervous, and enough movement over time might work out your screws.

Red is the ledger board, it attaches the structure to the house. Joists are held in joist hangers, which prevent twisting.

Green is the rim joist. Joists are also held here with joist hangers.

The cyan in the middle is the blocking. The blocking prevents the joists, the boards stood up on edge running away from the house from twisting. Generally, especially on long runs, you want the blocking to act like a second rim joist. Ideally, they'd look like ------- going down the middle rather than _-_-_-_- but it's difficult to securely fasten them in a line. Offsetting by a few inches doesn't make much difference. In my case, I have a chamfered corner in the foreground, and diagonal beam holding up the joists in the background. It's a more complex framing plan that makes the blocking asymmetrical, but it's plenty strong.

Looking at it, from what I can see I think what throws off the lines is circled in cyan here.

Not that it's going to make a huge difference. It's not that wide of a gap and it's going to be covered anyway. I just didn't see a reason for it.

It won't make a difference.
