Even with perfect measurements it's impossible to get to that line straight unless the frame is perfectly square. This not only completely solves that issue but also saves a ton of time not having to measure and cut them one by one.

Also the lumber I picked turned out to be 10 cm longer than the deck and I even picked the exact right amount. By the time I was done I only had a basket of <10 cm off-cuts.

Well to be fair I think I've wrecked my brain a few times thinking about things too much.

Oh my, those last two are news to me. There was actually a Tv series called To The Manor Born, so I'm blaming that.

Now, about that pint of Guinness.
