Turning these lights on is an important part of every job!!..#deck #lighting #deckdesign

What happens here

Begin by accurately measuring and marking the desired locations for each puck light on the deck stair risers. Once marked, use a cordless drill fitted with a spade drill bit of the appropriate size to create clean, circular holes. Ensure the holes are drilled completely through the riser material to allow for light insertion and wiring.

Goal: Create openings in the deck risers for the puck lights
