Secure the Post in Place

What happens here

After positioning the post, use a step ladder to reach the top of the post if necessary. Use a hammer to gently tap the post down into the opening until it is fully seated and flush with the surrounding deck structure. The video shows tapping the post from the top to ensure it is securely in place. Confirm that the post is plumb and level before proceeding with final fastening (though final fastening is not explicitly shown in the video, it is implied as the next step in a real-world scenario).

Goal: Fully seat and secure the deck post
