What happens here

Begin by laying out the first tier of heavy timber logs for the base of the stairs. Use a measuring tape to ensure consistent dimensions. Once positioned, use a spirit level to check the horizontal alignment of each log and the overall tier. Secure the timbers to the ground using a power drill to drive large timber screws or rebar through the logs and into the earth. The initial tier must be level and firmly anchored as it forms the foundation for the entire staircase.

Goal: Establish a level and secure base for the stairs.
