      Cheers man Martin thats really kind of you to say that. I was a bit concerned while I was editing the video that I was speaking to much and people would lose interest. Really appreciate that feedback mate, thank you.
      We recorded the whole build Martin 😃 I hope to have the next episode ready to share by the end of this week.

    why not just measure off the house and mark it on the block? Use corner blocks so lines are easily adjusted.

I agree the site is easy, pinned corners and then just go 75mm all the way to the top 😂 dont get me wrong I do enjoy building houses, just not for the big players. To right, private work there is a lot more to think about. Appreciate that mate, tit means a lot coming from another bricky, to many enjoy slating others for no reason 😂 top bloke, cheers Dan 👊🤝

      Your kind of right mate, there is a ceiling that tops out around 50-60k isn’t there. I found anyway. I’m not the quickest anymore but give quality so still get a good take home.
      I think if you stay in the game and want more out of it you need to be thinking and working outside of the box. Land developments for yous self.

    You are making this way to difficult,use a wooden stake in each corner,pull your line around each stake pull diagonal measurement,when that measurement is the same you are good, you move the line up or down to get your elevation
