What they say

Hide

guess nothing really essentially we're dealing with uh a house and a pool that are not totally square and parallel with one another so what we're going to do we want this to appear perfect that's what we always want to do hide what's going to look the most obvious so with our inlay here if the stairs intersect that inlay in a weird way and not perfectly straight it's going to be noticeable so and came up with the idea we'll measure off of this to uh our our consistent point and then we'll pack out the front of this it's going to end up being about an inch and a half or so that we're going to have to pack this out at our smallest Point down there so we can do that later but this way the spot that you would see it you're not going to see it so you always got to think what's going to be the most noticeable and adjust accordingly so that's what we're going to do so we'll get a reference point off of here this is our biggest spot so we have that so we'll just need to Plum that line down measure that measure to this and and then do the same thing there and mimic that that sorry I was holding the flashlight for my dad go steady Cather yes you got to let you know when I'm intersecting that line what line the line you just made what where did oh okay are you good Sean y um over about right there perfect you want me to snap it you got it oh yeah you back up a little bit more too we're same h uh so we're going to have this uh bench seat built-in couch stairs and we're going to have like a minimal amount of deck showing so I'm thinking I want those cross sections like in the middle to be dead center so that's what we've got here 49 in off the edge is going to be our dead center of intersection but then I'm thinking we also want it to be centered off of the fire pit that's going this way you know what I mean sure so ran through a bunch of different numbers and it ends up being our squares instead of being 10t by 10 foot for our grid to snap on it's 1072 okay so that leaves us with our the end of our last grid being here so there's going to be like you know an intersection of our inlay right here at 49 kind of ends where it ends here but it brings us full all the way down to where the Ed edge of the inlay is same as it's going to intersect here I
