Even with perfect measurements it’s impossible to get to that line straight unless the frame is perfectly square. This not only completely solves that issue but also saves a ton of time not having to measure and cut them one by one.
Also the lumber I picked turned out to be 10 cm longer than the deck and I even picked the exact right amount. By the time I was done I only had a basket of <10 cm off-cuts.
At first glance I thought this was an areal view of a large concert or something with the gravel being people.
Sir are you high?
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 day ago dude i’m not driving a forklift and you’re not my certification examiner.
I mean… No more than usual.
About 5’9?
Of course not, Officer!
No I see it something about how the porch is angled makes it seem like something really big
Love figuring stuff out like this. Wrecking your brain and running into problems everywhere. And then you get to it. The simple, elegant, efficient solution. “Oh, that’s how they do it”
Wrecking
Wracking?
It looks great.
Good job, man! Thats professional work, genuinely the way its supposed to be done.
Only if he treated the ends before the fascia board went on 😬
Not really a problem. The wood will dry out regularly, so it won’t rot.
That’s how you do it.
I stand by what I was taught by my grandfather and my father.
Only you’ll care if it is off, but if someone comes to the house and says it is wrong, hand them a saw and say get to work.

I've been a professional before. Where it mattered we cut the ends off in place that same way.

What tool to cut them off without damaging surroundings? Just a circular saw?
bluGill@fedia.io 2 days ago
Circular saw with the blade set such that it just barely will cut all the way through.

Track saw or a circular saw
