Install Inlay Interior Joists

What happens here

After the inlay perimeter is framed, additional structural blocking and short joists are installed within this defined area. These interior framing members serve multiple purposes: they provide essential support for the deck boards that will be laid in a unique pattern (e.g., diagonally) within the inlay, and they also act as solid fastening points. These pieces are cut to fit snugly and are securely fastened to the perimeter framing and any intersecting main joists. This intricate framing ensures the inlay section is robust, properly supported, and ready for the distinctive decking.

Goal: Further framing and blocking are added within the inlay perimeter to support the specialized deck board pattern.
