Assemble and Secure First Step Frame

What happens here

A second 4x6 pressure-treated lumber piece is attached to the initial riser board, forming the rectangular frame for the first step. The creator uses a drill to fasten these pieces together with screws. After the frame is assembled, a shovel is used to clear any excess gravel or debris from the area where the step will sit. The assembled frame is then carefully placed on the prepared ground. A sledgehammer is used to gently tap the frame into its final position, and a spirit level is used to verify that the step is level. To prevent movement, holes are drilled through the lumber and into the ground, and half-inch rebar stakes are hammered through these holes to firmly anchor the frame.

Goal: The creator assembles the frame for the first step, clears the area, places the frame, checks for level, and then secures it into the ground with rebar stakes.
