Sam Finn said...: Hope he gets there. Just curious … why not use stakes and strings?; February 12, 2019 at 8:36 PM
John Wells said...: He finally showed up at 9PM. Stakes and strings are for cavemen.; February 12, 2019 at 9:00 PM
Sam Finn said...: I'm showing my age.; February 12, 2019 at 9:04 PM
Rita B. said...: God bless the Fed Ex people who travel far West Texas. They must have to use satellite phones. Glad you got your level.; February 13, 2019 at 1:02 AM

Come on J. Gizmo...!!; February 13, 2019 at 5:46 AM
John Wells said...: Yeah...I know I can make one, and I have used a home made version before and found you really need 2 people to work it efficiently. I am working alone on a good portion of this project and an electronic water level just makes life a little easier - and it's cheaper than hiring a second person to monitor one end of the water line.; February 13, 2019 at 8:07 AM
Sam Finn said...: Just down the road from me is house that was built on swampy ground. Over the years it settled out of level. You can watch a bottle roll across the floor. A cup of coffee on the kitchen table shows an "unlevel level". Was a hard house to sell but someone finally bought it.; February 13, 2019 at 9:34 AM
