PERFECTLY LEVEL WALLS … the secret screw method!

Описание: This is my secret screw method. It is the most accurate way to get your walls perfectly plumb. I’ve tried lots of different methods. But I think this one is my favorite. Here’s how it works. I pick a location on the ground about 2-3” off the wall and use it as my reference line. I put my laser level on that line and check the wall. I take my smallest measurement for the laser (which is basically the part of the wall that sticks out the most) and use that as what I’ll call “Measurement A”. Then here’s the secret, I put a bunch of small screws all over the studs in kind of a grid formation. Exact location isn’t important. I usually do 3-4 screws per stud. I set the depth of the screw to that measurement A. Now I can take my 4 ft level and lay in between screws and I use some small strips of plywood to shim to the level. The beauty of this method is that once I level each stud individually I know I will also be flat across the studs (which is always the hardest thing to accomplish). It’s a slow process and I wouldn’t bother with this for long walls of a bedroom. But I will be tiling on these walls so they have to be perfect. And I’ve found that this by far the most accurate method. Subscribe for more tips!
