    That water technique for leveling is so cool! I’ve never heard of it but it makes so much sense.

      Alot of drop ceiling installers use this method quite often. I have seen guys use colored water to be able to see it better

      Its how they level mobile homes. Works really well. Used the technique to relevel mine in Alabama when I lived there. Set the water level to the highest point and raised with wedges on all other pillars until its perfect. Never seen it used in this way before, but I see why it could be done with this sort of build. Could be really useful on projects like large decks as well. Really anything a 4' level can't handle. Could call John, forgot about using food coloring to make it easier to see inside the trailer skirt, probably works just as well in bright light conditions too. I added uv dye for air conditioning so it glowed after I couldn't find a food coloring that worked, but out in the open simple food coloring does the trick. I learned the trick from a mobile home installed and he did it before the skirting was installed, he swore by red or blue, didn't work as well in low light for a relevel, being an auto mechanic at the time I grabbed ac dye, its used under a blacklight to find leaks. Hope this helps someone with their project.

    You should do a bigger kick. On a whale tail, you land smoothly on the downhill segment, to get as much speed as possible. When you land correctly, you gain massive speed, and it let you get out a bit faster, and usually, it ends on a step down
