What happens here

Using a Makita impact driver, carefully align a long wood screw with the desired fastening point on a piece of treated lumber. Drive the screw directly through the first piece of wood and into a connecting piece. Ensure the screw is fully embedded and the two pieces of lumber are tightly secured together, providing a strong connection for the overall structure. The surrounding environment, featuring gravel and rebar, suggests this is part of an outdoor construction project, such as a deck or foundation.

Goal: Secure wooden beam connection using a screw.
