What happens here
The worker carefully measures and positions a joist (ProWood pressure-treated lumber) to ensure correct spacing and alignment within the deck frame. Once properly situated, a Makita cordless impact driver is used to securely fasten the joist to the rim joist using multiple GRK construction screws. This connection is vital for the stability of the deck.
Goal: Securely attach the joist to the rim joist.
