What happens here

After the framing inspection is passed, preparation for installing the deck boards begins. A worker uses an electric planer (DeWalt branded) to smooth and level the tops of the deck joists, ensuring a perfectly flat surface for the decking. Following this, flashing tape is applied to the top of each joist. This black, waterproof tape protects the joists from moisture and extends their lifespan. Finally, the installation of the composite deck boards starts, with workers carefully laying and securing them to the joists.

Goal: Install composite deck boards for the outdoor living area
