Well what do u use it for

I'll let you answer your question but I will give you a hint...... It's the same thing you use a tape measure for...... Lol

 

[Flyout95]

Folding rules can be used to figure offsets and rolling offsets... If you know how to use it. It's also great for measuring from distance to distance from the ground.

 

[jmc12185]

For rough ins, I do use a tape. And I also start on the second floor. I use a folding ruler for boilers and such.

All my vents are done, tied together and through the roof before I move down.

Im considered "young" and I use a folding ruler everyday. Your statement about you must be old is totally inaccurate.

People between 18 to 30 years old consider us (more than 40 like me) old timers.... but its ok, they getting in there and we got something more valuable: experience :yes:

So I used a folding ruler and it was a bad idea. Not good for roughing in

I've done nothing but provide useful information to other members.

 

[Leafzfan]

I became a plumber cause they told me I would get my hands on cocks and black pipe....

Needless to say I was misled.

This is useful information that you provide?

 

[Flyout95]

Sure, it's important to know how I got started.
