Leaning extension wall

[geraint]

he thinks we should wait until the scaffolding is down, as it might be distorting things, but thinks there might be a taper in at the top.

Your SE thinks scafolding is distorting a brick wall? And hence it will undistort when removed? And you believe that? Ye Gods!

must be the so called SEs on here

If you have an Android phone, Smart Tools is a very useful program for detecting angles and levels

One function, superimposes an angle measure or plumb-line on to the screen when used in camera mode, and lets you check the angle of what you are looking at - walls, roofs, rafters etc. Lots of other levelling and measuring functions too

Details and video here

I only mentioned the use of a laser as a previous poster was suggesting a plumb line may not be easy to use in this instance. Windy conditions would present problems for a plumb line. Lasers are very useful for checking if things are in a straight line as I am sure most people know.

Also, I will be grateful if some of you will moderate the languge and tone of your posts. This is not a building site, but a moderated British public forum.

There is a way round that, if you let the plumb bob hang in a bucket of oil.
