Water level basics – How to make and use one

Water level Basics – How to make and use one I’ve used a water level for many years on all types of projects. I consider it to be a necessary tool and would immediately replace it if it were to be damaged or stolen. Water levels are easy to make and very useful to have in your collection of tools. They can be used to survey small jobsites for landscaping, foundations, deck piers, fences, shelving, leveling old floors, to list a few. Water levels have some advantages over other leveling technology. Pros: • No batteries needed • Line of sight is not necessary (works around corners as opposed to a laser) • Works in tight spaces • Easy to use and understand • One man operation over large areas Water levels have a few disadvantages, but not many. Cons: • Water will freeze without antifreeze • Limited to length of hose • Water can spill causing the level to change • Others may think you’re weird I hope that you find this video inspirational, informative and instructive.
