    Yes & No, a multi-directional will have an X & Y axis laser HOWEVER it is only one beam so you will have to move it. it is easier to adjust the height of the tripod for the horizontal beam versus moving for the vertical beam IMO, the example you posted, set one column in its entirety. then use...

    That is the sad part of this, they are cutting their nose off and when they (the installer) say "pay me more" after doing X number of jobs and building the "relationship" the GC will fire them and get the next lowball to do the work becuase it worked for the GC already, and will work again

  16. 28’ AT&T NASCAR Trailer Rewrap

    That looks HORRIBLE for removal, 20 years exposed to the elements What are their expectations for the lifespan of the new graphics? IMO sub out the removal needs to be sandblasted or HOT high-pressure washed It will be best to have the end customer do the removal so you are not held liable...
