Toothpick legs on a structure like this?! Get real! This thing deserves some stately columns!
What happens here
Begin by setting up a stable A-frame ladder to safely reach the top of the structural pillar. Carefully lift and position the first pre-cut long exterior trim board against one of the pillar's faces, ensuring it is properly aligned vertically from top to bottom and horizontally at the desired starting corner. Take your time to get the initial placement correct, as it will guide the installation of subsequent boards.
Goal: Align the first trim board on the pillar
