NOTE:
A transit can be used to ensure an accurate 90°
angle, or the 3-4-5 rule can be used. Refer to diagram.
Using multiples of 3-4-5 such as 6-8-10 or 12-16-20
helps to maintain an accurate 90° angle.
After squaring the position of the building and placing
a stake at all corners, string a line between the stakes
to mark the base of the building.
