What happens here

Holding a small screw and a hammer, the narrator attempts to pound the screw into the wooden ledger board near a joist hanger. He struggles, noting that this method would take 'all day' and that the screw doesn't properly embed. This serves to illustrate his argument against using screws with a hammer, which is an inappropriate tool for driving screws.

Goal: The narrator attempts to drive a small screw into a wooden member using only a hammer, highlighting the inefficiency and incorrectness of this method for screw installation.
