Mate it doesn't get any easier, in fact I cant remember the last time I set a house out using profiles and string lines. Re: Marking out footings for a pole home on a sloping block 8Sep 02, 2014 2:56 pm Giday Paul I faced the same problem with my place It is not that difficult, but you do need two people and you need to step down your hurdles (an extra mid way hurdle with the two heights on it). The step hurdle needs two timbers (top and bottom), you simply put your string line nail in the same spot on each timber (using a plum bob) and continue your string line through. Then simply take into acount the drop on any measurments from the lower string lines. It is easier to set your top hurdle (s) at FFL or the bottom of the floor beam height to make it easier to calculate post hieghts etc. http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr164/Fishdejour/10456044_10203487393679431_8703977993063062763_n_zps05953134.jpg Surveyor will do it easily and quickly but they charge about $500 for 10 points (and you need 30 so...) I use a water level, string lines and a plumb bob for all my set out and gross building and get it within a few mm's Steve Steve My building project - Hill House viewtopic.php?f=38&t=13537 Who you have in your life is more important than what you have Re: Marking out footings for a pole home on a sloping block 9Sep 10, 2014 1:33 am Hey Paul, Best get someone in to clear and level out you lumpy bits my block was the same as it sloped in two directions and I started with one corner and worked from there using string line and the three four five method to get correct corners and I put in 114 footings took about a week just make sure you check then double check your holes.
