I'm in the middle of redoing a room in my basement. Right now it's a toyroom for the kids, eventually it will house a pool table.
I was hanging the ceiling grid today, and needed something to ensure that it's level. I'm not about to spent a zillion dollars on a spinning laser that the pros use. Hell, I'm too cheap to even rent one.
So, I decided to do it the same way the Egyptians leveled the pyramids- with water!. I took a spigot from my bottling bucket and put it onto an ice cream pail. I put 20'of clear tubing onto that and put a picnic tap on the other end. Filled it with water, hung it from the ceiling, and voila! Instant water level. I could've bought one for around $25, but this cost me about $4 for the tubing.
Pictures are kinda fuzzy, my digital is a POS
