HowTo Measure Landing 1080p

What happens here

After establishing the initial straight edge, make a precise turn with the painter's tape. Extend the tape straight down towards the far side of the existing stair tread that meets the landing. This ensures a perfectly straight and continuous line from the edge of the stair treads to the landing carpet. Then, make another turn and run the tape straight back along the wall. Finally, complete the perimeter by making the final turn around the back wall until the tape meets the starting point at the front edge of the bullnose. This creates a full, enclosed outline for the carpet.

Goal: Continue extending the painter's tape around the landing, turning at corners, and running it along walls to define the entire carpet area, ensuring straight lines and a clear outline.

What they say

Hide

turn, go straight down, and you go all the way to the far side of this stair tread so that it has a perfectly straight line from the edge of your treads down to your landing. And then you run your painters tape straight back. You make the turn all the way around the back wall. And then it goes to meet the front edge of that bullnose.
