What happens here
With the joist hanger firmly attached to the ledger, carefully lift and insert the wooden joist into the hanger. Ensure the joist sits flush and square within the hanger's cavity and against the ledger board. The video shows the joist already in place, ready for the next step.
Goal: Place the wooden joist correctly into the secured joist hanger.
