As someone else has mentioned, a pack of ten small neodymium magnets is
good for that, you leave one stuck to each nail/screw so can easily see
where the joist is.


That's a neat idea, I have a pack of small self-adhesive ones that I've
never found a use for. (I realise I won't need the adhesive there).
