Easy Deck With Concrete Blocks and Railroad Ties

I needed to cover up a shameful space in my backyard. And, provide another area for seating. I wanted it to be cheap, easy and fast. This method of building a deck was perfect! The only tool needed was a drill.
This is the completed deck.
I used concrete blocks as the support between the railroad ties.
I screwed the decking boards into the railroad ties on each side.
