Is there a mathematical way to fix my diagonals?
I am laying out the strings for piers to support a shed type structure in my yard. This is the first time I have done this. I'm having a time with getting the lines square. I feel like that is a common newbie problem but I can't say for sure. I've read and watched a ton of how-tos but none seem to deal with how to fix areas that are out of square. below are the measurements. Can I determine which way to move the strings using math or is it basically a tweak-it-till-its-right situation? Also, how 'exact' does it have to be? My sides may be 1/4 off in some places. I will be pouring 12" piers and setting a post attachment in them. Thanks for the input in advance. https://preview.redd.it/srp1c00jbnye1.png?width=898&format=png&auto=webp&s=bbce599ea22fe69fa0291fc6e4e973f5f37d197d submitted by /u/Tranesblues [link] [comments]
