Nomad's Little Tip

Nomad · Post by **Nomad** » Mon Dec 31, 2007 5:33 pm

I like to occasionally get my level out and go through the house making sure all the pictures hanging on the wall are perfectly level. This provides me with peace of mind not to mention the added aesthetic value this handy little tip offers.

Its time well spent.

Sure I can eyeball them but knowing its exactly and precisely level is the difference between sanity and insanity.

But what if your level isn't level?

What if it was accidently and irreparably manufactured on a slight diagonal? :sneaky:

I'll level with you - you should check your level is on the level.

:wah:Nommie, you need to invest in an EverStraight

· What is the EverStraightâ„¢ Hanging System?

A revolutionary, simple to use Hanging System that has heads turning - but not because of the typical shift of pictures mounted with conventional hooks or nails. EverStraightâ„¢ is a versatile, molded-plastic Hanging System that can be used with hanging wire, saw tooth hangers, wall anchors, metal frames or even interlocked with another EverStraightâ„¢ hanger.

The patented EverStraightâ„¢ Hanging System keeps pictures, mirrors and other hung objects straight - no matter how many times nearby doors slam or active children careen into walls. EverStraightâ„¢ is based on an innovative "platform" design that eliminates unwanted pivot points associated with conventional hook hangers or nails.

Then you could spend more time picking needles out of haystacks:wah:

BUT....BUT....BUT..... what if your floor isn't exactly level or you have a sloping ceiling? Doesn't that make you queezy?
