Hope they spirit leveled the floor before they started just to make sure all was true!
Had a big problem at a railway workshop when a non tradie thought he was doing the right thing but didn't realise the shop tracks weren't level, thus neither was the carriage we were working on!
But I am loving and do admire the work you fella's are doing over there and so wish I could join you.

Wayne, knowing the quality of workmanship this crew is capable of, when I first saw the level that question spent less than a micro second in my thoughts.
