TIL skipping joist hangers is a fast track to wobbly decks.

This shortcut never saves time in the long run.

Seriously... @wesley_hart's neighbor found out fast. Skipping hangers is such a bad move... it feels quicker but always bites you later. I mean, that wobble turns into a scary shake real quick... no thanks. Just put them in right and save the headache.

My neighbor tried that on his deck build... spent all summer fixing the sag before he finally put them in right. That wobble gets scary fast.
