Garden Hose Full Of Water Used As Level For Leveling Builings And Doing Landscaping FARM SHOP Handy Hints 22-6-39 Keith Berglind, Sandy Hook, Manitoba: "I use an ordinary garden hose full of water as a long level for leveling buildings and doing landscaping. "The problem is that it is often hard to see the water level through a dark green hose, no matter how transparent it is. "To avoid this, I made these 2-ft. clear plastic extensions for my garden hose. I salvaged the male and female ends from an old garden hose, then clamped the clear plastic hose, the kind you can buy at a hardware store for about 10 cents per foot, to the ends. A nail at the end of the hose makes it easy to attach to a building or ground stake. "You can add a few drops of very light oil to the water levels to make the water lay perfectly flat, instead of curving up the wall of the hose."
