I pulled measurements off two fences to get a rough layout for the batter boards. Every time I walked a 90 degree measurement, I was off by three feet.
I thought I was having some kind of navigation problem.
THEN- after setting batter boards for the short side, I used the measurements (off the other fence) for the long side.
After setting the two parallel string lines, I squared up it and barely had space to do it.
Now I'm going to have to get the wife involved.
....Or use 6' batter boards set 6' away from where I think they need to be.


Always remember the 3, 4, 5 rule to square up any area.
ReplyDeleteThat's how I found it was so far off.
