What happens here

With the foundation and main beam in place, the next step involves installing the 2x10 pressure-treated floor joists. The creator and a helper (Ben) position each joist into the previously installed 2x10 hangers. The joists are then secured into the hangers using exterior-grade nails. The creator explicitly mentions using nails and jokes about using screws if one is a 'baller,' implying nails are sufficient and cost-effective for this application.

Goal: Securely attach all floor joists to the main beam using hangers and exterior nails

Tools and materials

  • 2x10 Floor Joists — Creating the horizontal support structure for the deck
  • 2x10 Hangers — Providing a strong connection point for joists to the main beam
  • Exterior Nails — Securing the joists within the hangers and to the frame
  • Framing Hammer — Driving nails to secure the joists
  • Safety Glasses — Protecting eyes during hammering

No, Mr. Coach Klein. Vicky Bord on Sundays. Mama has this G grill in the barbecue. Bobby Bush, are you asking me to a barbecue? Why? Yes. Yes, I am. Can't wait to take a piss off this deck. That's a weird thing to say. Strong like bull. In the previous episodes of building outdoor steps, I was quickly corrected that it's not pronounced das hammer. It's pronounced durhammer. Thank you Germans. Love your cars. Nuts to butts. Love the taste of steel early in the morning. You should have used screws, not nails. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. My rules. I'm
