Jerry,

No disrespect as you have been doing this much longer and undoubtedly have more experience and knowledge than I.

Is it possible that the blue line in the 2nd photo is either the manufacturer painted edge or a chalk line snapped by the person who installed the decking. And typically (like I said) the painted marking lines and stamp are usually on opposite sides.

If you actually blow up that photo, I believe that I can see the H-Clip along the blue line leading me to believe that it is the painted edge.
