What happens here
Continue the process of securing additional wooden 'scabs' along the main beam. For each 'scab', position it accurately, ensuring the beveled edge is correctly oriented to shed water. Use the DeWalt impact driver to drive multiple structural screws through the 'scab' and into the main beam. The video demonstrates driving at least two screws per 'scab' to create a robust connection. Repeat this process for all remaining 'scabs' until the desired section of the beam is braced, creating a long, continuous structure with the 'scabs' acting as reinforcing members.
Goal: Finish attaching all planned wooden braces to the main beam.
