Is THIS $30 DIY Water Level BETTER Than a Modern Laser?

Hey Gang! After all the work on the inside, we're finally moving to the outside of the building and installing our trim package from James Hardie. Cement products are the best option for us out here in Texas, and the price was killer. The goal by the end of the month is to have the entire build finished on the outside! We've got a lot of exciting stuff planned and it's in the works! Can't wait to show ya'll!

When you see a new stud-pack video, you stop what you're doing and watch it. It's just what you do...

Jordan. Your a lucky man to have such a great father. I've never known a father, but I sure am proud of your relationship with yours. He's bringing all of his effort to help build your castle. Great great job! I'm enjoying the videos. Thanks!

I feel like I am literally "Buster the dog". Watching video after video like a couch potato in hopes my small brain is actually learning something as the months go on. Great build. Love the channel.

I’ve been using water levels on new construction commercial buildings, some spaces over 300, 000 square feet for 50 years….works like a charm, better than a laser that you have to knock down & reposition a dozen times. Yes, I’ve used lasers to set ceiling grids, but once you turn corners out of sight of that laser, screwed. I have a 750 foot long water level with RV antifreeze in it. Everyone wants to borrow it!

My pop showed me the water level back when I was a teenager. I'm now 66 years old and have used them several times. Perfect every time.

I love how the sponsor videos never feel out of place. Everything fits together, just like the amazing dream house!

Was having a frustrating morning dealing with some personal issues and was extremely stressed out!! I too am a carpenter/contractor and also have a few projects going on that are becoming annoying bc of too many difficulties with special orders etc etc. My patience level was at the breaking point to be honest. Saw this notification and started watching. 33 minutes later I feel so much better it’s actually amazing!!! Love u guys and ur attention to detail but more importantly love ur interactions bc they are based in mutual love and respect!!! U guys are quite simply the best YouTube construction channel out here!!!! Great job my brothers!!!

I don’t know what it was, but this video was GOLD! Paul was on fire with his delivery. Even the water filter ad was wonderful. This is my favorite video from you guys to date.

Jordan is lucky to have a great father as has been mentioned. I’ll take it one step further, Paul is blessed to have a son who takes interest in him and what he does. Jordan could have moved across the country and got a job in sales or whatever but wanted to do something special, something different and took an interest in his dad and the work that he does. Just beautiful all around.

Hello all… I’ve been a builder for many years and had many great apprentices over the years. Watching these young guys get so pumped about a joint looking “Money” or “Clean” makes my heart smile. Thank you Paul for doing this for them. You are a great man with a golden disposition.

I use automotive windshield washer fluid in my water level (that I've had for 35+ years). Not only does it make the fluid more visible but it keeps it from freezing when I work in the cold.

My father owns a woodworing & solid surface shop, and I've learned tons from him over the years. But I gotta say, It truly feels like I have a second family when I watch these videos. I love this family, I love the tips & tricks, love the humor, and just overall love you guys. Great video, love how the garage is looking!

I’ve had a water level for 40+ years. Mine consists of a set of two clear plastic hoses that are around a foot long, one with a male garden hose connector the other with a female hose connector. Any length of garden hose or combination of garden hoses will work depending on how far you need to go. I used it originally to install gutter drain pipe from the house 100ft to the ditch by the road.

Big Stretch is holding strong on my Minnesota home x 20 yrs now. High near 100 degrees, and -40 lows. Dam impressive!

Rad is hilarious. Dude works his ass off and always seems to have a good attitude, such a great addition to the team!

Hello Studpack crew

I built for years Swedish homes
In the corners of the homes we cut the underside 15 degrees in
This results in the water falling of the point of the board.
With a 90 the water drops stay longer on the board.
This method prolongs the lifespan of the product

Don't forget temperature effect on density.
This is at least partially covered below but temperature affects density so if one riser is in the shade at 45F and the other is in the sun and warms up to 80F, then for a 100 inch rise the 80deg side will be 0.3in higher than the 45deg side! Usually not going to happen but something to be aware of.

Buy a garden hose, garden hose fitting, and a section of clear pipe. Attach to each side of garden hose to the clear pipe with fittings. Now have adjustable water level. Only need to store the clear sections for when you need it

I've used a water level many times! They work great. I've usually tacked the 'reference' end of the tube in place and as long as you don't raise the 'working' end above the reference, you only need to cork the working end when you move around the structure.

I believe Metabo HPT makes 15ga, Angled 2” electro galvanized nails for exterior trim. You guys probably won’t get to this comment but you do an amazing job, great channel and great content! I’ve learned a ton over the last 4-5 years from you guys, I watch all your content. Wish you all the best of luck. Thank you for being great people.
