Tip of The Week

August 11, 2007

This week’s tip comes from our “Don’t lose your marbles” file.

Plumb and level are two critical attributes to any project but it can be difficult to determine how close you are on any given surface.  Laser technology has brought us light years (pun intended) ahead but some of the devices can be a little pricey for one time use.

If you want an inexpensive way to tell if your floor is out of level get a marble.  Set it on the floor.  If it rolls away the floor is out of level.  I suppose it would be more impressive if we could tell you something more complicated but it’s just as easy as it sounds.

Thanks for visiting Ask John and Dave.com and we’ll see you on the air,
