What happens here

The video begins with a person using a Makita cordless impact driver to attach a piece of ProWood pressure-treated lumber, likely a block or brace, to a joist using GRK construction screws. This piece serves to strengthen the frame or provide support for joist hangers later, ensuring structural integrity.

Goal: Reinforce the deck frame with blocking.
