Laser Positioning on the Job Site

pad over there let's talk about laser positioning on a jobsite we just talked about how you can never move a laser bounce it around from spot to spot unless you're ready to recalibrate all your numbers so if you want to set it up and what you try to pick the spot on a jobsite that captures your total jobsite but stays out of the way okay now on this jobsite we're going to be cutting this grate down and we've got to capture the grate from here and one of the other things that we haven't discussed yet alex is the this building here in this building here okay part of that is we've got to be able to get the grades to flow away from all structures so we're trying to get it to flow away from that but we're also trying to get it to flow away from this building right here okay and so that means that the smart move would be to cut some of this down to split the difference in the water flow so we don't want to just direct it all in one spot because then that creates a washout the more avenues areas that we can get water to flow away so when we talk about laser positioning we want to be able to set the laser up in one spot right there is probably going to be the best spot because it allows us to capture all of the grades from all of the different directions without ever moving the laser if we put the laser anywhere else we would be obstructed by buildings or we just wouldn't be able to capture all of the grates so we want to pick that very careful laser for the first time in his own he's using the legs the extension on the legs to level it out just to eyeball it to get it as close as possible go ahead and hit the Go button and let's see if she if you're tight enough in I know she will she's slowly moving there you go all right we got it you got we got the laser on so we know we're lovable enough let's go get our benchmark read and then let's figure out where once we read our benchmark let's actually come up with a number that we're gonna shoot for out in the middle to be lower then and then we'll get started actually doing that your benchmark is the is gonna be right here so this benchmark is the number that we're aiming for that we're gonna use so we're gonna use the actual concrete pad because the if it rains or some or somebody kicks some dirt that that can change the concrete pad won't isn't as
