It's also hard to mark lumber in the bright sun with a light mark (preferred so you don't have to sand it off before nailing). One stair builder contractor was adamant about that. Leave marks, leave the job.

Many times working in furnished, occupied houses so cutting inside was not an option. I've seen some do it anyway and face the wrath of the homeowner over the dust. Some guys just don't get it. I don't care if you have to walk downstairs and outside for each cut. You learn to measure for 3-4 cuts at a time and hope you hit it perfectly.

Ask look171 about this.
