We're already almost wrapped up this @prowood frame!!

What happens here

After cutting, the lumber pieces, typically joists, are manually lifted and positioned into their designated slots within the framing structure. This requires careful alignment to ensure each piece is plumb, level, and correctly spaced according to the framing plan. The video shows workers quickly and efficiently placing joists into position before they are fastened.

Goal: Accurately place all framing lumber according to the structural design.
