What happens here

The worker continues the installation process by driving additional joist hanger nails into all the pre-punched holes of the galvanized metal joist hanger. This ensures that the hanger is fully secured to both the main pressure-treated wooden beam/ledger and the sides of the pressure-treated wooden joist, creating a strong and stable connection. The hammering is shown from various angles to emphasize the complete fastening process.

Goal: Fully secure the joist hanger to both the ledger and joist.
