The Carpenter Tips

I am honestly losing my mind over this... My buddy has about $6,800 into materials already and keeps telling me "it'll all come together once the decking goes on" but I walked over there today and immediately started questioning everything.

If you need me, I’ll be out here turning lumber into lifestyle.

Any advice or tips from people who've dealt with this before would be greatly appreciated!

$14,200 deck staircase build and the railing alignment still doesn't look right.
