Teaching a Laborer TO THINK like a LEADER #2

What happens here

After cutting and notching, carefully position the adjusted timber logs for the first tier's corner. Use a sledgehammer to gently tap them into place, ensuring a tight fit against the existing timbers. Backfill any gaps around the logs with soil to provide additional stability. Finally, use a power drill to drive timber screws through the newly placed logs, securing them to the ground and the adjacent timbers. Re-check the level to ensure the corner is stable and even.

Goal: Securely install the corner timbers for the first tier, ensuring stability and levelness.
