My home builder poured me a nice thick (16") concrete patio (8'x10')
which we didn't ask for or pay for. Unfortunately it's squarely in the
way of where we want to build a deck and there isn't really clearance
above it to get the deck joists in.

Forget the deck. Extend the patio. Over the years, you'll be much happier
as you have less maintenance, no staining, easy clean up, no rot. .
