Water levels have been around for ever.
I guess there's not enough markup on them to make them popular...
They are becoming hard to find. Let's see a laser level around a corner.
Hard to find? Vinyl tubing is everywhere. Water is quite common.
Let me know the next time a salesman informs you about one of these water
levels...
That's the job of a salesman, to inform, right? ; )
I picked up 4' of 1/2" vinyl tubing and two hose end adapters so I
could make a water level out of any garden hose. About $8 at bLowes.
Fill with water, mark lines, quickclamp to the posts, and go!

Indifference to evidence: Climate alarmists have become brilliantly
adept at changing their terms to suit their convenience. So it's
"global warming" when there's a heat wave, but it's "climate change"
when there's a cold snap. The earth has registered no discernable
warming in the past 10 years: Very well then, they say, natural
variability must be the cause. But as for the warming that did occur
in the 1980s and 1990s, that plainly was evidence of man-made warming.
Am I missing something here? --Brett Stephens, WSJ Opinion 12/09/09
