Now that we're almost done with the stone wall making, and it's too cold to make mortar, Melissa is figuring out how tall our posts have to be... they have to go all the way to the ground, ya know!
So we have to figure out the heights of the concrete footings. We got a small-time laser level and built our own transom (I think it's called) with a long 1x1, a measuring tape strapped to the side of it, and a little post leveling device we had from the yurt building period. By setting the laser level on one footing, we can easily tell the height difference by seeing where it hits the measuring tape on the 'plumbed' stick. I built a white background piece of plywood stand so we can find the laser during the day. You can see the laser level sitting on the closer footing here:
