What happens here

Once the joists are in place, determine the exact position for any posts that will support a future structure, such as a pergola. In this case, a post would land directly in the middle of a joist. To accommodate this, two joists need to sandwich the post, or the joist needs to be shifted to allow for a direct bearing point. Adjust as necessary to ensure structural integrity and proper load transfer.

Goal: Ensure proper bearing for future structural posts.

What they say

>> We feel good. Right here is our uh footing for our pergola, our structure. And we need the post to bear right down on that. And right now, we're like directly in the middle of it. So, uh we'll make an adjustment on this. And I'm not sure yet if we want to. Maybe we'll just joist it on both sides so we can um really lock it in. I mean, we'll block all the way around it no matter what, but uh I think we'll just we'll move this over a couple inches. So, um don't nail this one off. The second one. Okay.
