The process begins with a shift in approach. The builder explains that they are trying a new method for attaching the floor joists. Previously, they would screw down every other joist and pry the boards over, but now they plan to remove all the screws, go down to the rim joist first, and secure the boards more evenly. This adjustment aims to make future work easier and improve the overall alignment.
They also mention researching proper construction techniques—like limiting the number of screws on rim and floor joists to avoid damaging the wood—and deciding to reduce the screws from three to two on the joists to prevent unnecessary holes.
