I'm building a deck. The basic shape is a rectangle. It's about 28.5 feet long, 17.5 feet wide on one end and 4 feet on the other, and the angled side is about 28 feet. The angle works out to be roughly 26 degrees.
The question is this what is the best way to cut the 26 degree angles on the 2x6 joists. Because my circular saw and jigsaw won't do those angles (at least not that i can see) I figured I'd have to do my best with a sawzall. Anyone have an idea what the best way to do this would be?
I thought I would snap a chalk line on the top of the joists and make a pass with the circular saw (that should give me about a 2.5-3" deep cut) and then complete the cut with the sawzall. It seems like there should be a better way.
I'd appreciate any ideas.
