What happens here

After the first course is successfully installed, the process of adding subsequent rows continues. The creator demonstrates how to approach obstacles like electrical panels and outlets. He holds a barnwood plank against the wall, aligning it with the row, and then uses a 'Squig Jig' (a specialized marking tool) to transfer the exact dimensions and locations of the electrical panel and an outlet onto the plank. This jig allows for precise marking of both the horizontal and vertical cuts needed. He measures from the bottom edge of the board up to the bottom edge of the obstacle and then marks the width and height, ensuring the cut will perfectly frame the electrical components.

Goal: Accurately mark barnwood planks for cuts around electrical boxes
