I don’t want to jinx myself… but this job is moving along pretty dang smoothly!! #build #builder

What happens here

The video starts by showing a robust wooden joist system already in place, forming the base of the deck. Workers are then seen beginning the installation of composite decking boards. These boards are laid perpendicular to the joists, covering the subfloor structure in a systematic manner. This stage establishes the foundation and primary walking surface of the deck.

Goal: The initial phase involves setting up the wooden joist system for the deck and commencing the installation of the first few composite decking boards onto the prepared sub-structure.
