Toothpick legs on a structure like this?! Get real! This thing deserves some stately columns!
What happens here
Once the first board is secured, descend the ladder and carefully move a work platform, such as the Werner brand model visible in the video, to the next side of the pillar. A work platform provides a more stable and wider base to work from compared to a ladder, allowing for easier movement and access along the length of the pillar. Pick up the next pre-cut trim board, which could be another long face board or a specific corner piece, and align it precisely with the previously installed board and the adjacent pillar edge.
Goal: Position work platform and next trim board
Tools and materials
- Exterior Trim Board — The next piece of cladding to be installed on the pillar
- Work Platform Werner — Providing a stable, elevated surface for working around the pillar
