Introduction and Base Layout

What happens here

The video introduces two methods for building stairs: the cut-in method and the pyramid method. The pyramid method is favored for its sturdiness. The base for the stairs is laid out, consisting of multiple Versa-Lok blocks arranged in a grid. The overall width of the stairs and the adjacent retaining wall is established using these blocks. Half-split Versa-Lok blocks are used for corners and certain edges to ensure a smooth, finished look without needing to saw them.

Goal: Understand the pyramid method and lay out the initial foundation blocks.
