My gutters took 8 hours to install because I trusted the bubble level
Spent a whole Saturday on a simple gutter job because I kept checking my work with a 4 foot bubble level. Turns out my gutters were sloping the wrong way the first 3 hours because my ladder wasn't level. Just buy a laser level for $40 and save yourself the headache, has anyone else had a simple job spiral like that?

Wait, you spent 3 hours sloping gutters the wrong way because your ladder was sitting crooked? That's brutal man. I would have been so mad when I finally figured that out. At least you caught it before the first rain hit and flooded your foundation though.

Know a buddy who did something similar with a fence line. @the_leo he spent a whole Saturday putting up posts, leveling each one with a bubble level. Turns out his level was busted the whole time. Every single post was tilted by like 2 degrees. Had to dig them all up and start over.
