The contractor who recently finished the bench seat on our deck extension admitted that Math is difficult for him, and he just can't see how the numbers go together to figure out angles. He is a good carpenter however, so except for the fact that it is rare, exensive Redwood that he is working with, his trial and error carpentry does get the job done. My wife noticed that the bottom angles on the verticle two-by-twos around the railing were all cut backward, and the nails have an exposed space between the cut angle and the base wood that he was nailing into. The railing is overbuilt, so there is no worry about collapse, but gee whiz, that should have been obvious. I will add in an extra backing board here and there to compensate because to force a re-do would cost more Redwood. We can live with it and I doubt that anyone will notice *:-)
