Description from the creator

I wanted to create a video someone could watch and simply learn how to layout like a pro with string and a set of batter boards. If you follow my easy steps, you will have your layout done in no time. I also think you will like my efficient use of one batter board instead of two...It's easier and quicker. Bust this out and look like a pro next time!

If anyone knows the name of the knot in the video let me know. I am curious what it is called
