Claim 7:
8. A clip for attaching a grooved plank to an underlying joist comprising:
a body extending longitudinally from a front end to a rear end and laterally between a right lateral edge and a left lateral edge;
a first shoulder extending laterally outward from the right edge and transitioning downward into a first leg at an intermediate longitudinal position between the front end and rear end, and an opposite second shoulder extending laterally outward from the left edge and transitioning downward into a second leg, the first leg defining a first lower placement surface and second leg defining a second lower placement surface coplanar to the first lower placement surface and combining to form a placement surface of the clip for placement on the underlying joist, wherein
the first lower placement surface is entirely laterally outer of the right edge of the body and the second lower placement surface is entirely laterally outer of the left edge,
the first leg and second leg define a reference spacer therebetween extending laterally along the bottom surface of the body and having a substantially flat front surface and substantially flat rear surface,
the reference spacer defines a slot extending longitudinally therethrough through the front surface and the rear surface, and
the slot is aligned with a hole in the body.
