What happens here

After the deck boards are cut, the worker positions them within the existing deck frame. A nail gun is then used to quickly and securely fasten these boards, likely joists or blocking, to the main beams or ledger board. This action is performed rapidly and repetitively, forming the structural grid of the deck. The worker is wearing a tool belt, indicating a professional or experienced approach to the task.

Goal: Securely attach cut deck boards to construct a stable deck frame.
