joisting
Installing horizontal beams
Joisting is the work of installing joists—the horizontal beams that support floors or ceilings.
The term appears in construction contexts: The crew spent the morning joisting the second floor.
Like other construction gerunds (framing, roofing), it names both the activity and the trade skill involved.
