When installing deck boards, cut the first 3 near the house and the last one, furthest from the house, to the deck’s exact width + 1/8 inch on each side. Run the rest of the boards long. Snap a line between the first and last boards, then cut all the “wild” boards at once for a nice, even cut.
Once marked, snap a line and cut all boards at once.
Mark first wild deck board before snapping line.
