Clear 6 foot length of hose with water inside in a u shape. The height of the water on each side will always be level

Or a trip to B&Q!

how about the Mk I eyeball? Take reference points from ceiling or floor and away you go.

LOL The above can be dodgy if go by the levels the average house is built by (i.e all over the place).

My bodgit methods is a £1 pound coin or a marble/ball bearing/paintball, and see where it rolls. Or get the missus to hold it whilst I eye her, sorry, it up

Raise a perpendicular down the side

Finnie's is easily the best. The water level works over many metres, too. And round corners.

paulr

Its okay i've finished.
Thanks.

I bet it's still on 't'****.

Put a light cup/glass on it's side and see if it rolls over

A bit late now, but may be helpful next time.
