There are a bunch of mediocre and bad videos showing this method. You did a great job!

Thank-You! As an architect I know of the theory, but I have never done it, I barely remembered the 345. I am due back in an hour and will check it.

Thanks, I just needed a quick refresher on this, so I can get my retaining wall in square to the property line. Appreciate your comment below about making sure to measure on the level, which I might have forgotten.

Thanks for the refresher. So nice of you to do these videos.

@brianpiper3188 9 лет назад

The best part about this method is that as long as you use the same multiplier for all 3 sides, the result is always the same and the numbers are whole! x1=3,4,5 x2=6,8,10 x3=9,12,15 x4=12,16,20 and so on. The original idea behind this method was to eliminate the use of fractions and keep it simple, but feel free to define one side and calculate the other 2 sides.

Try to measure as level as possible because measuring on a slope will throw things off .

What a great tip. It seems quite intuitive but it's not something I would think of doing (not the best at trigonometry). I am starting to build a box for my new whirlpool drop in tub and I will be using this trick for the box. Thank you Shannon.

we always got taught to use the tape as pivot point and draw a arc and where they cross, its 90 degree and then snap a line, i've also got taught to do 2 for larger work to. this method where u adjust the tape measure to get them square is new to me.

@dangoldberg4160 5 лет назад

Having just come inside from an unsuccessful attempt to lay out guides for a rectangular platform's posts, I'm grateful for this video! Thinking about the Pythagorean Theorem as 3,4,5 helped, as did watching you use a level and tape measure to do this by yourself. Does anybody have tips on doing this when your ground surface is dirt and unevenly sloped? I can't grade the surface, because this is for a treehouse and, well, the tree is in the middle with all its roots!

@austinhastings8793 3 года назад

Probably too late for you, but for any future readers: you can use a "water level." That is, a length of hose with water in it, and some clear tubing at each end (or entirely clear tubing, if you have it). Fill the hose with water, and hold the two ends apart. The water at each end will be at the same level. (Larger-diameter hoses will "settle down" faster. Prefer 3/4 over 1/4 tubing.) This is nice for a tree house because you can wire the hose to the tree, and you can bend the hose however you like in the middle (just keep the middle lower than the ends).

@johnkimball8239 2 года назад

Love these long-term discussions on youtube. We come to it as we need it. Another method that works for posts if you take a string and stretch it to mark the distances on the string, and then attach a level to the sides of the triangle.

@HouseImprovements 2 года назад

@markraymond3242 2 года назад

Hi Shannon the only thing I don’t get is how do you know if the first line that you chalked is straight? Doesn’t that have an impact?

@HouseImprovements 2 года назад

In this example the caulk line will be straight and it is parallel to the homes foundation because we measured out from the foundation at the two ends of the caulk line equally.

Yes. or measure diagonally from corner to corner. The two diagonals should measure the same if the deck frame is square.

First of your 90 or 3,4,5 isn’t straight because you pulled your control line or original line of a concrete wall and we all know concrete walls dip and aren’t very straight

@austinhastings8793 3 года назад

@@joshramirez853 Dips in the slab will make a slight difference, because they can cause your tape to shorten. It could be an issue for someone doing 30x40x50 feet, but not here.
