What happens here

Begin by identifying your main reference line (e.g., a property line or an existing structure). Using a spray paint wand and orange spray paint, mark a primary working line on the ground that is parallel to your reference line. This working line will be the base from which you will establish your 90-degree angle. The video demonstrates this on a board and then in real grass, showing the creation of the first straight line using the spray paint wand.

Goal: Mark a straight baseline on the ground.
