Bob,
I've always wondered how a laser level could be more accurate than a water
level. I'm not disputing the claim but I've never understood how
its possible. I'll explain my quandry.. a laser level is only as
level as the little bubble will make it. I've found some that aren't even
close to level when they 'say' they are. A water level [ all things
concidered like bubbles and wind] will sit perfectly level once
properly set up, we know that water will seek its own level. I'm not
convinced that a laser level is better. Am I missing
something??
Curious is all

Jarrett, Some of the Laser companies have rotating levels that self level
using a spherical track and rotating. I have one and can attest that the thing
does a great job. Did my barn foundation with it. My friend is a surveyor and
shot the foundation for practice and said it was within 1/8"! (24' x 36') He was
supprised. The water level will work of course with patience.
