What happens here

The video opens with the presenter in a garage corner, highlighting the need for a storage solution due to scattered truck parts. He introduces the project: building a ledger-style shelf in this corner. The first step involves installing the lowest horizontal ledger board. He sets the board 20 inches off the ground using a measuring tape and then secures it to the wall with screws using a cordless drill. A level is used to ensure the board is perfectly horizontal before final fastening.

Goal: Anchor the initial horizontal ledger board to the wall at the desired height.

I got truck parts absolutely everywhere, so I need to build a shelf in this corner. Let's get after it. So, I'm doing a ledger style shelf. I set my first shelf at 20 in off the ground, and I'm just going to go ahead and put a screw in here. That's level right there. I'm going to screw this up. All right, so now that we got the back one on, we're going to go ahead and throw our side one on here. All right, so I cut these spacer blocks, so now all of my shelves will be the same distance all the way up. So, I'm just going to put the spacer blocks on there.
