How can I level two distant points?

50 foot level

When you have to match the level of distant points - say, fencing or rock walls - you can make a level of any length you want. Use clear plastic flexible tubing filled with water. Hold one end with the water level at the desired point. The water at the other end will seek the same level no matter how far away.

I love this "common sense" solution! A hose filled with water could work for this, too.
