Mark Joist Cut Line

What happens here

Begin by establishing a perfectly straight reference line across the ends of the parallel wooden deck joists. This is achieved by stretching a taut string line from one end joist to the other. The string line serves as a precise guide for marking where each joist end needs to be cut to ensure a square and uniform perimeter for the deck frame. This step is crucial for the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of the finished deck.

Goal: Create a straight reference line for cutting the joist ends.
