So related to my Conex box thread, I need to level a couple of places around the property for pads. As in, land is already pretty flat, but needs to be level. I'm seeing laser leveling kits for the $400-$500ish range and wonder if they are worth it (I plan on needing more areas leveled, and/or slopes shot), and if they are somewhat dumbass proof. Has anyone used one?
Alternately, my excavator guy charges me $225 for a two hour minimum and could do it all a lot faster than me. Trying to decide if this is worth learning, or just paying the young guy to do it.
