Stuck on a step? Ask Mark.

Tap "I need help" on any step and ask in your own words. Mark knows which plan and step you are on, and you can add a photo.

Questions you might ask

  • Which side of the line do I saw on?
  • How far apart do the bottom slats go?
  • Do I drill a pilot hole for this screw?
Ask Mark on step 1 of the Slatted Storage Crate. His opening line says he is software, not a person. The question "Which side of the line do I saw on?" has an answer labelled Sample answer: saw on the waste side of the line.

Answers are AI estimates. A scan that cannot tell says so.

A valuation is an indication, not an appraisal.
