Yes, we have been using our phone as our calculator, plotting our deck installation. Unfortunately, we need geometry for this process, and it was my weakest math subject of all. I liked the proofs, of course, but not much else. All of this is because we are “framing” the deck with a picture frame look, and the deck is obviously not a perfect place to implement basic geometry and tricky Trex.
However, I am adept at realizing when something is “good enough.” I’m definitely not sweating an eighth of an inch any more. It’s too hot outside for that! Thankfully, my husband and his geometry skills are superior. I’m still just the idea person with a calculator everywhere I go.
