We were all done with the holes, but still had to put in and level our cement pad measuring sticks before concrete truck showed up. This should have been easy, but of course, something else had to break.

The charging unit for the Laser was not working and of course it had a dead battery. That laser is sweet though. you just have to stick out a receiving unit and the main base sends signals back and forth. really makes leveling easy. But... it was dead. So my dad rigged up a Water Level and we did it old school. This thing was just as impressive! (come to find out it got each hole within a 1/4 inch... not too bad)

we were about 20 minutes behind schedule, but luckily the driver of the truck was nice and not in a hurry. He actually helped us finish up with the water level.

(one of the below pics is the car charger my dad altered to directly charge the Laser base unit.... crazy guys, i wouldnt even know where to start with that stuff)
