You should have mentioned that you need to make a spacer at the top if you are measuring to an offset line. duh....how could you pass that up? otherwise, great instruction.

I also love my Bob.. however I don't try to plumb directly over the line.. I just get it in the area and measure the offset to the line.. then I measure the same distance on the ceiling from the pin holding my Bob. this speeds thing up with two people but really helps when you're alone.. I also love the Tajima plumb bobs.. check them out, they're the best $40 you can spend..

If you're using the plumb bob outside you can get better string for it at a kite shop and some home centers. It has a smaller diameter and is less susceptible to the wind. Well, that and a bigger bob. :)
