Finding a Level with a Laser Video

Ted Riley explains to how the concrete crew uses a laser to assure that they get a level slab. The crew first sets up the laser and then the target with the proper height. When the laser beeps, it's on target. The bottom of the stick tells them that it's at the same height as the rest of the area.
