What happens here
The worker continues installing ProWood pressure-treated joists, employing a string line as a visual guide to maintain precise straightness and consistent spacing. Each joist is aligned with the string line before being securely fastened to the rim joist with GRK construction screws using a Makita cordless impact driver. This technique is critical for preventing unevenness and ensuring a level surface for the final decking.
Goal: Install joists with accurate alignment and spacing.
