What happens here
Once the initial plywood sheets are laid, they need to be securely fastened to the underlying joists using screws or nails. A worker is shown using a power tool, likely an impact driver or nail gun, to secure the plywood. Additionally, some areas may require custom-cut pieces of plywood to fit around existing structures or fill in gaps. A worker is seen using a circular saw to precisely cut a piece of plywood to fit a specific section of the roof deck, ensuring a continuous and robust surface.
Goal: Fasten plywood sheets and cut custom pieces for a complete deck surface
