What happens here
Once a wooden joist is correctly positioned against the house, a worker uses a pneumatic framing nail gun to drive nails through the joist and into the underlying house structure, securing the connection. The nail gun is operated by pressing it firmly against the wood and pulling the trigger to fire multiple fasteners along the length of the joist.
Goal: Permanently attach the positioned wooden framing to the house.
