Denray Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Posted November 25, 2013 It's a marble. I though I lost them once. It shows the slope.
Chad Fabry Posted November 25, 2013 Report Posted November 25, 2013 OK, so what's a marble got to do with Ma Bell? New England accent. Mah-bel

[:-graduat Denny, like you , I have only one ball, but it's a brass one. [] I don't use it much, especially since I read on here it is an unprofessional piece of equipment. My wife bought shelves at Ikea, never mind the sarcastic comment. What I got was the nifty level. Now I have that in my pouch with my brass ball. For professional appearances and for checking floors, I have the 4 footer out in the truck. Click to Enlarge 14.2 KB

Denray Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Posted November 25, 2013 How do you carry a 4ft brass ball around?
Nolan Kienitz Posted November 25, 2013 Report Posted November 25, 2013 How do you carry a 4ft brass ball around? Carefully !!! []
kurt Posted November 25, 2013 Report Posted November 25, 2013 Denny, like you , I have only one ball, but it's a brass one. [] I don't use it much, especially since I read on here it is an unprofessional piece of equipment. I only object to the hayseeds that use the marble on sloping floors in a great show of.....something. I carry a torpedo level in one of my cargo pants pockets. A good one. The 4 footer is out in the truck if I really need it. Better yet, laser levels are cheap now. Put it on the high spot, turn it on, then you can actually show someone what's going on with sloping floors.
Chad Fabry Posted November 25, 2013 Report Posted November 25, 2013 I've used "roughly the same slope as a handicap ramp" a few times. The only time minor slopes that aren't plain to see count is when they're a drainage plane for something.
Mike Lamb Posted November 26, 2013 Report Posted November 26, 2013 It's small, but my wife says it's effective. As long as she's happy.
Rob Amaral Posted November 26, 2013 Report Posted November 26, 2013 I take the ball out as a joke.. "...and for those who demand I have a little marble.. " If I had a nickel for every time a realtor or buyer said, "don't you have a marble?" ... I just say.. OK "SEE!"?" On driveways I use the Roman engineering technique.. "Watah"
Jim Baird Posted November 26, 2013 Report Posted November 26, 2013 Denny, do you carry a bathing cap to wear for scuttles through those attic access in the shower ceiling?
Erby Posted November 27, 2013 Report Posted November 27, 2013 Torpedo in the pouch. $35.00 laser level in the van, if I need it. I think I have a golf ball in the van too, someplace but not sure. Last time a realtor asked me if I had a marble, I asked "Why, did you lose yours?" Just a blank look in return.
