Hot take: Sketching elevations on grid paper beats winging it for fence builds

I drew my backyard fence line to scale first. It caught a slope issue I'd have missed otherwise (and saved a ton of rework).

Grid paper's not even needed, any scale drawing would catch that slope...

That "any scale drawing" logic is why my shelves are crooked, lol. We skip basics everywhere.

But what's your actual process for scaling it down... do you just eyeball the grid squares?
