Set Up Laser Level and Prepare Story Pole

What happens here

Begin by setting up a Bosch laser level on a stable tripod at a suitable location near the deck construction area, ensuring the laser level is properly calibrated and projecting a consistent horizontal reference line. Then, take a standard 2x4 piece of wood to use as a story pole. Attach a laser detector/receiver to the story pole using its integrated clamp. This detector will emit an audible signal when it intercepts the laser line, indicating the exact height of the laser relative to the ground.

Goal: Establish a consistent laser reference and prepare the measurement tool.
