Spot on, that's the correct method. Ignore woody.Yes I understand. But the top of the wall is 2.7m and I need to climb on ladder to reach the top and measure down to the "datum".
I use stacked up milk crates.
Comment of the year. Spat my dinner out reading that
How can you be missing the point so much? Imagine you carry a small device, you point it at any structure, anywhere around you, and it draws a horizontal line exactly where you want it. The alternative is you carry ladders, tape measures, pencils and whatever else... One is fun, and instant, the other is more laborious, indirect and no fun at all. Maybe you do not understand, "fun" ?

I bow to your superior intellect and wit... Sorry for failing to intrigue your refined mind and exquisite sense of humour. Please tell me what university degrees you hold so I shall go and try to educate myself and try to attain the great heights of mental superiority that you exhibit.
Sorry mate, it was just a funny thought having to climb a ladder and measure down rather than measuring up. But I’m sure that’s not what you meant. I meant no offence and totally apologise if I caused any.
One thing to bear in mind if you laser a line around the top of your wall, you still need boring things like tape measures, pencils, ladders etc otherwise you dont know where your line is.........
Kn a serious note, some laser levels come with a clamp so they can be fixed to a length of wood. Setting a laser at a set height is useful for setting out, for example electrical sockets for a kitchen. Ideal when doing sockets before the kitchen goes in.
I use one of these indoors, the laser, attached by its magnets slides up or down to to the level required.
