There are always projects to do around the house. Some are big projects, and some are small projects.
Whatever the project is in my house, I like to tackle it myself. I'm not the best handyman, but I can hold my own around the house.
I've learned some tricks over the years to help me get by with most of my own projects.
One day, I was in our local hardware store and noticed this laser level. My first thought was why would I ever need one of these.
Then I thought, wait a minute, one of my problems was hanging pictures, adding shelves to the walls, and keeping them straight.
I can tell you that I've patched up many holes in the walls, fixing my mistakes while hanging pictures and shelves. Well, not anymore because this little laser level makes it so easy that even I can do it.
I now have pictures and shelves that are perfectly level. Although I do miss those words from Fran, "that's not straight". This handy little tool helped me fix all of my mistakes.
This shelf is now perfectly level, but it wasn't always. This shelf must be hung from two points on the back. There are two notches that the screws fit into on the back of the shelf. Trying to get the second screw to match the level of the first screw was a nightmare for me.
The laser level made this easy; just set the first screw, then mount the laser level on the wall. Line it up with the centerline of the first screw, using the tool's level to ensure it's level. Now, measure and mark the wall on the laser line for the second screw. Wow!! Perfect every time.
Some other projects that my laser level made easy were hanging wallpaper, borders, pictures, and curtain rods. I had to add some new posts for our deck. I used the laser level to determine the correct height of each post. I even lined up the photo eyes on my garage door with it. So, it turns out that I really did need one of these.
