What happens here

After driving the screws, lightly pat the surface of the newly installed deck board with your hand. This helps to ensure that the board is seated firmly against the joists and that the screws are flush. Visually inspect the board for any remaining gaps or misalignments. The video shows the person checking the board with their hand after installation.

Goal: Confirm the deck board is securely fastened and flush.
