Pete W's Tin Shed Project.
PeterE:
A very nice setup Pete. So simple and yet very, very accurate.
A hose level (which I believe it is called) and a plumb bob one have almost all accurate measurement tools needed for building.
If one wants further accuracy from the water level I found this at my local (swedish) tool mart:

The only real difference is the scales on the end containers.
Will be following this build with interest :thumbup:

I reckon Pete's version is better than the Swedish one. He can stand his big bottle in the middle of the site and just wander around with the tube taking measurements without having to return to the bottle.
But it won't help much when it comes to the floor surface, levelling wet concrete.

Hi there, Andy,
Not planning to use any wet concrete on this project - see last Saturday's progress:
Surely, if you vibrate wet concrete sufficiently, it levels itself? (I usually try to keep my concrete as 'un-wet' as possible and bring it to the tops of previously levelled stakes in the bottom of the trench.)
Pete W.:
Hi there. all,
This is Tuesday afternoon's progress:
I just have to trim the levels so all the top surfaces of the sleepers are in the same plane. The lumpiness of the limestone scalpings is too great to allow that by dead reckoning with the water level alone. :bang: :bang: :bang:
My shy assistant has objected to my describing her as 'glamorous' but will allow me to describe her as 'lovely' in future. :clap: :clap: :clap: She's certainly a 'bonny lass' and more than pulled her weight on the other end of the sleepers.
Rob.Wilson:
Your defiantly putting some graft into the base Pete :clap: :clap: :clap:
I dont think its going to move any :thumbup:
