1. A method of using a fastener guide, the method comprising:
engaging a base with a first support board, the base including a longitudinal axis;
pushing a retainer clip joined with the base until a stop wall engages at least one of the first support board and a second support board that is transverse to the first support board, the retainer clip including a first prong and an opposing second prong that move away from one another during the pushing;
temporarily holding the base in a fixed position relative to the first support board and the second support board with the retainer clip;
advancing a fastener in an elongated fastener recess, rotationally constraining the fastener rotating therein as the fastener advances into the first support board so as to advance the fastener at an offset angle relative to the first support board and into the second support board to thereby secure the first support board to the second support board with the fastener.
