The laser level on the Fraser job was 2 degrees off and I caught it with a chalk line
Last Tuesday on a job in Fraser my crew was about to set a 24 foot wall using the laser level, and something felt off when I eyeballed it. I grabbed a chalk line and snapped it against the laser, and the beam was drifting about 2 degrees over the length of the wall. Turned out the tripod had a cracked foot from getting tossed in the truck bed, so we swapped it and re-shot everything before lifting a single stud. Cost us maybe 40 minutes but saved us from a wall that would have been out of square by almost an inch at the end. How often are you guys rechecking your lasers against a string line, or do you trust them until something looks wrong?
