What happens here
Begin by assessing the area where the trim will be installed, specifically the junction of the deck post and the stair landing. A worker is shown initially adjusting or positioning a piece of composite decking material near the post, likely to gauge the fit or remove a temporary brace. Then, using a tape measure, carefully take precise measurements from the deck post to the edge of the stair tread and riser. These measurements are crucial for creating the custom-fitted corner trim piece that will wrap around the post.
Goal: Obtain accurate dimensions for the custom corner trim.
