Thats the best bit of advice I've ever had ( given to me by @nod ) .

A Story Rod is useful all over the build and throughout the time of the build. It's such a simple, super accurate way of measuring and fitting: I'm going to use one today to mark out the support holes for a heated mirror.

I have a ' good one ' and several gash (throw away) ones. I repaint the good one every now and then: it gets loads of markings on it fairly quickly, and painting over old marks is a simple quick way of 'starting again;

The key thing is  - have one reference mark - doesn't matter what it is, just one , thats both easily visible, and immovable. And measure everything from that. Can't see it becuase there's now a wall in the way: make yourself a new one.

 

That’s it Ian

Even the pros can make a pig's ear of a job, I just spotted this while checking out a location on Google maps. Years ago I wouldn't have noticed the perps.....
