Correction:
33:03 โ€“ This hanger uses angled double-shear fastening, so the joist fasteners should be the longer manufacturer-specified fasteners that penetrate through the joist and into the header. Some straight-hole joist hangers may allow shorter connector nails. Always follow the fastener schedule for the specific hanger.
