Um, it's a cantilevered deck. Toenail the joists to the ledger first (flush w/ top), then install the hangers. As the joists are run over the dropped beam (and longer than req'd), chalk a line pulled from the house/ledger, then cut the joists to length. The rim will be straight regardless of how straight the house/ledger is. And, yeah, get that lady a real hammer.
Fastener manufacturers have geared up for the changes among wood preservatives. I'm not sure of the current status of pneumatic fasteners, but if they do not meet ASTM A 153, they would not meet the recommendations of Wolmanized wood nor the requirements of most building codes.
