What happens here
The project begins by precisely trimming the composite decking boards along the house wall. A Makita track saw, guided by a long aluminum track, is used to make a perfectly straight cut, ensuring the decking is flush with the house siding or trim. This step creates the initial clean edge against the structure.
Goal: Create a flush and straight edge on the composite decking adjacent to the house wall.
