IS THIS MODERN FARMHOUSE?! #idontknow #carpentry #modernfarmhouse

What happens here

With the first beams positioned, workers proceed to securely fasten them to the ceiling. One worker, wearing a tool belt, utilizes a pneumatic nail gun connected by a yellow air hose to quickly and firmly attach the wooden beams. This requires accurately placing the beam against the ceiling and driving nails into the underlying ceiling joists or structural members to ensure a strong, lasting hold.

Goal: Securely attach the first set of decorative beams.
