Laying Down the Lines
After you have laid down the outline of the bed
with the hose or extension cord, you can begin
marking in earnest. Spray paint a dashed line
(saves a lot of paint) along the hose or cord
taking care not to paint it.
If you prefer not to use paint, you can put down
the stakes along the hose or cord, taking care not
to damage either the cord or hose.
