If it ain’t tight it ain’t right when installing @DeckoratorsProducts

What happens here

Take a second composite decking board and repeat the cutting process as in the previous step, ensuring the 45-degree miter cut is made on the *opposite* end or in a complementary direction to the first board. This allows the two boards to meet at a perfect 90-degree angle. Once both boards are cut, carefully bring their mitered edges together to form the corner. Visually inspect the joint for any gaps or imperfections, aiming for a perfectly tight and seamless connection, as demonstrated in the video.

Goal: Complete the second miter cut and confirm a seamless 90-degree corner joint.
