Cob: squaring up the foundationMike Swink mswink at mindspring.comSat Sep 14 11:43:47 CDT 2002
Just a note that someone might need sometime. Wheter it is a need to square something small or large. the ratio of 6 + 8 = 10 is the key. [you can enlarge or shorten these numbers 3 4 5 or 12 16 20 but same ratio] Say for example you put up stakes to show where your foundation is to be laid. If you consider A line to be acrross the front of house. And B as the line going down the right side of the house. Then measure accross the front [line A] to 6 feet then mark or tie string. Then measure from from same corner down the side of the house. [LINE B] and then mark at 8 feet. To see if line A and B are square from one another you should read 10 feet from the Six and Eight mark. hope this made sense. if not please redo it for me. I know I am not the only dummy on the net who needs this.
