With the start of a new job, I've got two way you can layout your next building project. There is the Tried and True way of math and tape measures, and then there is the full proof, easy, one man way of using the Stabila LA180. If you truly didn't remember learning math in school the stabila is for you!
Looking to build your own post frame and want some help? Check out my building plans with all of our details. They are packed full of info and extremely reasonable. My designers info is attached the plans if you want to work with him to modify to fit your needs.

I really wish high school math was taught with these kind of examples. With more and more kids going into the trades, they think they don't need to learn math, but this would open their eyes to why they need to know it even if they are not going into college. Laying out foundations, getting rafter angles, paint coverage, concrete volume, etc. Math teachers and tradesmen should really start working together to teach real life examples. Then the kids will be that much more prepared when going into apprenticeship.

On the first pull when you said 1/16th off I thought wow that is not off that is perfect. Great foundation work. Thinking the site is clean as it should be excavation is nice but then you run your tape over the pile of lumber. Like an old timer I worked under moons ago that was a framer who did great work would say IT IS ROUGH FRAMING when I was throwing measurements out including 16ths.

I actually had the parallelogram analogy almost get me one time. I was pulling the doors off a little barn and was going to replace the T&G someone used with sheet goods. I took the T&G off and then checked the frame for square by pulling a diagonal and it looked great. When I set the ZIP on the frame something seemed off. I measured the sides, and they were way off. Just happened to still pull a good diagonal. Ended up just building new frames as well.

@@timbrubaker1787 There's several sources of error in linear measurement by tensioned steel measuring tape and among these are tape material elasticity, tape material density, cantenary sag if the tape is unsupported horizontally, temperature, etc. If over 100 ft a steel tape is tensioned at 40 lb, tape elasticity may be calculated by section and modulus of elasticity: assuming a 3/8" x 0.012" tape you could expect about 0.09" stretch at 0.355" at 40 lb tension - close to Tim's figure. Sag error in a cantenary length vs chord length is negligable. According to a handy calculator I found on the Internet, the cantenary length vs straight line length for 40 lb tension is 5 parts in 100,000. Sag would be about 5". If those setting up the building references were consistant when tensioning the steel tape, errors for longer and shorter distances would be proportional. Temperature would be a factor also. 100 ft measured with a steel tape would be about 9/16" longer at 100⁰ degrees F than at freezing. Again proportional, other things being equal.

Awesome as always. You've done a couple of these now, but now I get the "1-1/2"" that you always talk about. Maybe I missed it before this one. So, what I didn't see was what happens if you needed 96' and they poured the concrete say 97' (exaggeration here), so now you'll have this huge ledge of concrete sticking out? I mean, by rights your corner posts should be 95' 9" from each other so that you have the 1-1/2" for the 2x4 dimensional lumber. On one edge you do, but the other? You're going to have an extra foot hanging out...what if it was only 3"? How do you deal with those situations? Just curious, maybe its never "that" much, but I could see it happening.

Do you adjust for the temperature while using a steel tape ? Because heat will cause them to expand as much as 1/4 inch per 100 ft the same when cold will cause contraction . There is a formula to adjust + or - depending on the temperature.

Hey Kyle, all my work is asbestos removal and re-sheet so I don’t get the luxury of starting with a square building. I normally run a string line along eaves to get a best fit line, then 3,4,5 of that to get the line for my sheets. Which is difficult at best to get accurate. I’ve looked into the stabila la180 but been reluctant due to price and the uncertainty whether it would work for how I intend to use it. What’s your thoughts. Will this make my life easier or should I not waste the money? Never seen one in uk. So not like I could even borrow one to try.
