Thank you for explaining how it works. Your videos are very educational and practical.

Started laboring in concrete when I was a teenager. Was a union journeyman. Highway and heavy, worked on so many things. I'm out of the trade now (I still do some occasionally). Love watching craftsmanship. I still drive by jobs I did 25 years ago and take pride in them. Great videos.

Dave, you can get vertical plum lines if you lay the laser on its side. You can extend control lines on the ground too by doing that. I haven't tried that with a dewalt laser but I have been doing that for over 20 years with PLS and Hilti.

@@OdellCompleteConcrete this is very true but it is easier as overall less bending and when taking a level at least you are stood straight up looking back at level so easier to tune in receiver to level, but also I find that if you place level on ground there is always something in the line of sight from the level to receiver or maybe I run a messy site but we all have our own wee ways so each to our own

On the older wall where there was a 6" distance between the laser height and the mortar joint, that would be the part of the wall that sloped 3" down? Is that just from time and movement in the ground?

How much slope do you need going into each drain away from the main house. Ive heard that its supposed to be 1/4" for every foot. Can i do less or is that about right?

@arkansas1336

5 жыл бұрын

@Jose Manuel... 1/4" per foot is recommended for home sanitary sewer drains (i.e. bath, kitchen and utility rooms). For surface drains (aka stormwater surface runoff) I've built drainage ditches, as well as flat surface 'swales' for state highway projects with as little slope as .2 percent grade (approx. 3/128" per foot....or approx. 7 1/4" for 300') as they were engineered for federal highway jobs. These are considered extreme minimums....make them steeper if possible.
