I can mark the point directly below it. This same idea works for laying out posts, walls, framing, and anytime you need a point directly above or below another one. A string, a weight, and some gravity, and a thousand years later, it still works out perfectly. Anyways, I'm going to go hang out with my new friend Bob. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
