Father and his younger brother had determined that it was time to
renovate the sleeping facilities in the family hunting camp, and since
the building was 24 feet square, they settled on three double bunks,
two high, giving room for twelve men. After they started work, they
realized that a level would have been a useful item to have on hand.
The improvised solution was a CI fry pan with a bit of water; which
worked out quite well. One end of a board was nailed in place and
while one carpenter steadied the "level" the other raised or lowered
the other end prior to final attachment.

"How's that George?"

"Right on, just bring it up an inch, inch and a half, or two inches
and it will be perfect."

Must have worked out OK because the sound of twelve snoring men was
something to behold!


Have you ever used a 'Water Level" with the plastic tubing between
the two levels? I love to watch some idiot have one end in the shade,
and the other in the hot sun, then they bitch when the finished floor
isn't level. Lots of fun to watch them chase ball bearings to the same
corner, every time.

As far as the snoring, a pan of warm water held under their hand is
great way to stop them. As long as they are on the bottom bunk. ;-)
