How it started — How it went 😏#build #builder

What happens here

The first step involves preparing the base for the stone veneer panels. A black, L-shaped starter strip or trim piece is positioned along the bottom edge of the building wall, just above the deck surface. A person then uses a green HiKOKI cordless impact driver to securely fasten this strip to the building's sheathing or framing using screws. This strip provides a necessary level and stable starting point for the first course of stone panels, ensuring proper alignment for the entire installation.

Goal: Establish a level and stable base for stone veneer panels.
