Your link takes you to -25G not the -27C.

[@GreatOutdoors1]

@@benmarsh9403 That is why his post says Green Beam instead of red.

[@hellogoodbye3129]

You can use this tool to measure out your stone tonnage needs with this thing too.

[@ltpls1]

That device was originally made by Chicago Steel Tape Company. In 2008 Bosch bought the company. We Sold them to carpet installers, realtors, insurance appraisers. The level is something new. Great improvement.

[@sumnerkinney2166]

Your fire starter is a fantastic side hustle for your family. Gonna need another building.

[@benc2947]

I do trim work for a living. I have this model and use it every single day. The best feature is Bluetooth to your phone. You can go in take an entire cut list of measurements head out to your saw and everything is there for you and it’s exact. No wondering if the cut needs to be fat or thin.

[@tomjones3316]

Had one for years, all my guys made fun of it till they need it, They are great

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

lol

[@HomesteadEngineering]

I have to admit that I have not seen one before but now that you showed it I have to have one! Thanks! :)

[@jamesjamesd9556]

Real estate and apartment leasing agents love those Bosch units for getting accurate descriptions of properties and planning for staging furnishings, etc. Good impulse buy, Mike. 👍🏼

[@johnhodge2788]

Working by myself most of the time. Have loved mine.

[@mikelong9638]

I think you will love the radiant floor heating. I put it my bedroom addition years ago and could not be happier.

[@jackalopasaurus]

I've always wanted one of these. I measure the square footage of homes a lot, and it can be quite challenging in a basement loaded with stuff.

[@slip0n0fall]

Nearly all but the most basic models will easily calculate room area for you.

[@dougyurecko6500]

The building is looking great.

[@blunderbuss9927]

Gonna be a full production building sooner than later at this rate - congrats! Really digging the metal walls.

[@Smokeroux]

Thanks for sharing. Great for measuring inside corner to corner for “square-ness” Also…NICE PROJECT!!!

[@dougspaulding3240]

I have one and love it for the longer measurements, ten feet or more!!!

[@ebony5766]

Oooh! I need one of those! Can't wait to see the All Fll in action. I LOVE enterpernial wisdom and action. Cool beans my friend!

[@kathleenturley1561]

My husband uses it for measuring house's as an appraiser. Invaluable.....for him and such a time saver.

[@davidhaskins9457]

Thanks for the building tour, looks like everything is coming along nicely, everything you guys do is either a money maker or saver great having home businesses no rush hour traffic,love you guys

[@russellbowman8051]

Mike Nice Progress On The Work Inside The Building!! It Is Turning Out Awesome! Looking Great!! Can't Wait to See It All Finished!! Keep Smiling On!! 😀👍👊❤

[@Charles-pu1tx]

Nice shop bldg. Laser tool is amazing, very much worth the $. Thanks for update. Great to have projects when the weather is - well , winter time. Cant wait till spring and summer weather and all the equipment gets used. Sawmill, splitter, dirt work, forest work, it all is fun to watch. Some folks can live that experience through your videos, even though they would never have that chance in their life otherwise. Great property in Virginia also. Love it. Great content.

[@charlesperry1051]

I have had a Bosch laser measuring device for several years. Very handy. For many years I managed my companies real estate, both owned and leased. That thing was extremely helpful when evaluating property.

[@donwilliams169]

That's the most accurate when I've ever seen. Thank you Mike I appreciate you bringing that to my attention. Stay safe

[@barnescsp]

I used them recoding room square footage in the hospital and ceiling heights. Great tool.

[@tknoerle1451]

Great little accurate & time saving lazer device. Love that copper color in the bathroom!! Great video!

[@dennislosier8339]

Looks like everything is coming along real nice. Looking forward to see it Completed.

[@gslenaway]

I used to have one of those measuring devices when in real estate for measuring room sizes. They have been around for many years

[@davidkillmeyer9063]

I’ve had one of those Bosch laser measuring devices for around 12 years and is never let me down.

[@ScottyLo]

Coming along nicely

[@theskunkvalleyfarmer3134]

Have had one of those for years. I originally got it when I was doing insurance work, paid by the job, and needed to measure buildings and houses...saved a lot of time

[@Bentwatertrail]

Purchased one a month ago. Absolutely love it. Accurate and functional. Have used it a LOT !

[@metroplexchl]

I'm a real estate appraiser and have been using laser measurers for years. Love them!

[@unclebuck5957]

They work great . Get use to it you will love it

[@virgilviereckjr.6881]

Right on, Thanks for sharing. Things are coming together for you guys. Take care, all the best, and God bless. ✝️🇺🇸🗽🌩💨🌬️🌊⛴⚓️

[@dennislamers986]

I was a pipefitter and I liked the laser measuring tool for estimating projects. I also used laser level for installation of pipe.

[@constructionlife5059]

Absolutely works great and fast!

[@patriotallen9717]

Neat tool. Thanks for sharing.

[@nathanchilcott6723]

Hi Mike I use my Electronic measurer for measuring Kitchen, Bathroom & bed - rooms to design. Then use a measure tape to measure the windows doors & parts of walls etc. I wouldn’t be without it.

[@careyarnold2494]

You morgans are good people i really appreciatte you and your family true americans theres no playing on you show thanks for your honesty and careing

[@evanjohnson3578]

Thanks for the info and demonstration , I’ve always been interested in this laser measuring device but never knew how accurate they really are , thanks

[@bama4346]

Just a suggestion for the future cabin in W. Va. I don't know if you plan to have a wood burner with a electric fan (least expensive without a electric fan), but I would suggest a induction heat powered fan for your stove. It wood (pun intended) save on power coming from your generator and the fan will distribute the heat very well for a small cabin. And lastly, it would be a great back up in case of a power outage for your wood burner at the shop/rec building. Cost on Amazon $20-$60 dollars.

[@jimpat1977]

Dont fill bad i just bought Bosch laser this year and Ive been a general contractor for 25 years a carpenter for 45 years never stop learning thats why i love carpentry . Thanks for the good video

[@seanworkman431]

I knew about them but haven't bought one yet. I want one with a good range for outdoor use, fencing, pipe laying, etc. Good progress on the building.

[@rogerhowell9987]

I was using one of those 20yrs ago when I was a contract manager installing Racking and Mezzanine Floors, great when doing surveys in large warehouses!

[@abcochrandrywall]

I use my Lazor measure quite a bit at my work. Love it.

[@johnstromgren9022]

I;ve had a Bosch lazar measuring devise for about 20 years. The last major job I did a suspended ceiling . was great for all the edge pieses . great product.

[@jackcox5337]

I have one. It is awesome. Use it all the time. You will love it, especially on your property, measuring tree height and how far across a draw. Lots of stuff.

[@georgecoffman377]

Yes I’ve got one and for a one person job they are great. I’ve even got one for my son-in-law and he wasn’t to impressed at first but after he started working with it now he uses it all the time.

[@probuilder961]

I love my Bosch laser. Had it for about 8 years. I use for general room sizes & measuring Crown molding, even for measuring gutters. It's accurate to 1/16".

[@terrancesnyder9323]

Good afternoon & God bless you all

[@gtuttle4]

I have one of those and love it! It helps so much when you are working by yourself which is all the time!

[@madsciencegary3830]

Love the way your building is coming out. Great imagination for your style, and great execution.

[@burncon2]

Yours is newer/better than mine. Time to upgrade. I use it A LOT.

[@jameswalker9244]

I just got one a few months back. They are fantastic for finding ft² for flooring. My 3 year old also loves playing with it.

[@drewwagner7985]

Thanks for the tour Mike.

[@michaelmullins1290]

Looking great in the building. Innovative products with Mike Morgan. Pretty nice device.

[@AroundTheYard-MN]

I have had the older model of that for years. Has worked great on site investigations over the years. Excellent on large roofs where you are locating roof top equipment, drains, and piping. Glad you found a new tool that is handy to have. Speaking of tools, if you haven’t tried the KREG Jig system, that should be your next purchase. Enjoy your day Around the Yard! Have a great weekend with your family!! - Brent

[@mikeparmley381]

Former insurance adjuster used to use them to sketch out rooms. Bought my first one in 2005 or so.

[@Sadams707]

Now they will Bluetooth to your computer for sketching

[@bradleymcclintock7771]

Nice little tool. I like it. And the shop is looking great 👍🏼

[@earlkarow1342]

That Bosch is great for estimates , Measuring by yourself for paneling like you're doing and also layouts for footings and checking square cross corners

[@thomasstrout1738]

Been using a similar Bosch laser tool since 2008 and they work well. We had rented an 80,000 square foot building and were tracking roof deflection/snow load. I had several marked locations on the floor and would project the beam up to a marked point on the truss joist. We tracked deflection until the extreme snow load melted.

[@jphickory522]

Good idea

[@MeTube1988]

The building is looking great!

[@PurpleCollarLife]

I have one that’s about 4 years old. Works great!

[@jameslovingood5624]

I’ve had one for several years. I got mine to install the metal ceiling in my workshop.

[@fergusonlandmanagementweld1039]

I have had one for a long time, I used to use it on pipelines, when I need to get measurements in bell-holes, or in a pipe rack. I use mine all of the time.

[@jimstine7543]

Wow Mike this is like play day. I can see how it could be a useful tool like you said. The building is looking good 👍 also.

[@pastorjoe6827]

I used on of those almost daily when I was doing Engineering work. Great handy little device.

[@davidbishop4015]

Everything is coming along nicely Mike. The new machine will help production and save a lot of time. Stay safe.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

My wife uses one as a realtor for measuring rooms. Work great.

[@rogerspencer1232]

Mike, Walls are looking good. I would suggest prime and paint the plywood so there isn’t a gap between the plates.

[@dalepowell6815]

The building is looking great Mike.

[@SmallHoldingAtHillhigh]

I've had a no-frills Dewalt that I've been using for years, and it's great for planning fencing (if we are stationed at the planned run as twilight is fading to night).

[@chadhammonds206]

I’ve been using one for years due to working alone. I’ve installed thousands of feet of crown moulding and trim with my Bosch laser. Fantastic device.

[@robertbarrows9612]

It's surprisingly accurate! Thought the same as you, was to just get you close.

[@adirondackwoodsman]

Really cool! I am up at my camp right now putting up Tongue and groove on the ceiling. This would come in handy. Thanks for sharing

[@Spinonemaster]

As a high end finish carpenter for 40 years I've had a lot of measuring tools/tapes ... but these lasers have been a boom to both framing and finish work ... I remember buying my first Stanley Laser Plumb Bob ... sure did make my job easier and faster when working alone .... love seeing the building coming together ... non builders just have no idea how much work and planning that goes into a properly built structure ... especially when you are doing it yourself ... 30 years ago I got hired to do a door/finish job with the builders carpenter, met him at the job site and he pulled out a big sledge hammer with his 6 foot level ... I asked him what the sledge hammer was for ... he smiled and said "I know the idiots who framed this place" .... Big 3 story McMansion ... we spent the first 1/2 day cutting sills and banging walls and door/window RO's into place ... there's an old saying in building that a good framers is worth 3 finish carpenters if he's really good

[@houstonshores9744]

I started building houses when i was 17, went to a vo-tech to learn the 2 year schooling the first year you had to use all hand tools no nail guns. I remember some framers that would eyeball the walls for plumb and when the sheetrocker came in they had to cut 3" off a side for the sheet to fit.

[@chesterlauck734]

Don't forget the say "caulk and paint, make a carpenter what he ain't"

[@Spinonemaster]

I learned the building trade from my New England (VT) relatives who had been building for generations ... their pride was obvious ... one guy up on scaffold/ladder measuring, calling down to the guy cutting wood/trim ... he'd call down to the guy in a calm voice ... "It want's to be 95 and an 1/8" ... respect, as if nature and the space know things

[@stuartkorte1642]

I’ve been laying out my 2 ac. lot for a house and shop. I got the 300’ for outside. It has been a life saver. I’ll need to remember to use it inside for measuring ceiling panels, etc.

[@johnsadler8637]

Good morning! My sister and husband gave me one for Christmas 10-15 years ago, with much less programmability and less accuracy. It’s the same design as yours - measure from the base to the laser dot. It reads feet and inches, so is good for estimates but not cutting boards to length. He used it to estimate scale for renovation projects. I use it when there’s no one around to help hold or there’d be multiple tape placements.

[@hellogoodbye3129]

I use this green one, just remember that you have to add the gross length to the displayed length. This model gets a little squirrelly around 50ft with high humidity or dust. It measures your drainage pitch, roof pitch, and for me, wall pitch. As a restoration Mason you can't actually touch the walls if they are really bad. And getting a tape measure out around power lines is always a bad idea. Thanks Mike!

[@RaymondBarrett]

I have a different brand and love it! I bought it while trying to design a new house floorplan. It's great to walk around your existing house and quickly just take room measurements as a reference. "I like the size of this bathroom - how big it is?" 2 seconds later, you have your width, length, and even height if you want. And as you said, especially large rooms. I just shot it across the combined great room/kitchen and bam, there's the distance. No trying to keep moving my tape measure a couple of times, adding them together, getting around furniture etc. Not to mention I can do it all myself, as you said. No help needed to hold the other end. They're awesome! I think I paid around $60 on Amazon.

[@tomweber2711]

Yes, the weather outside is frightful

[@gregwertheim3970]

The Bosch laser measure is $99 at our Lowes in CT. Marked down from $149. I’ve had a Dewalt I purchased years ago that is surprisingly accurate but doesn’t have the range or the features of this Bosch. The product description says it’s Bluetooth as well and will connect to their app on your phone.

[@thomasyerbey337]

Great video Mike 🇺🇸

[@davidrush8283]

7:40 you said something that made me think of this song. "Let It Snow" was written during a heatwave. Lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne had to use their imaginations when writing "Let It Snow." The two were struggling to endure one of the hottest days on record in Southern California in July 1945. May be one more thing we did not know.

[@powerstrokepuller8076]

I also recently learned about these. A guy came to my house to bid some new flooring, measured every room of the house and was in and out in 10 minutes. Now I want one LOL

[@thomasryan8218]

I love the copper look in the bathroom.

[@TL-rt7vh]

Love my Bosch laser, saved me many a trip up and down the ladder when we were doing an add on. Super accurate and the batteries last a very long time.

[@johnkayak10]

My buddy bids sprinkler systems and he has used those a few years now. Handy and fast

[@carlasbury8045]

I had one of the older laser tapes several years ago. Worked great, I used it figuring square feet in homes. Mine also had a level in it. A word of caution, don't drop it. I dropped mine a couple of times and it got out of alignment. The sending unit and receiving unit must be in alignment in order to give you a accurate measurement. After six months of constant use mine quit altogether. They were more expensive back then so I didn't replace it. I am assuming that they are making them tougher now. Great concept and really hand though. If I had need any longer now I would purchase again. Great time saver and even more accurate than a tape for longer distances.

[@nahnotsomuch2292]

I just bought one of those a few weeks ago. Pretty impressed with how accurate it is. I bought an old school one probably 10-15 years ago that left a lot to be desired.

[@tombarnes1871]

I have the last generation of the measured. It’s accurate easy to use which is the best part. If I was in the store I would have purchased the same model! The room is looking very nice!!

[@montyhatch9142]

Building is coming along great looks awesome. The laser measure would be great for diagonals when you are checking them by yourself.

[@roostercogburn6508]

Great idea for the license plates, can't wait to see the finished product. Next problem you might have is figuring what plates go where (e.g. do you display by state, randomly, etc). Also thanks for laser measuring device tip, like you I have not seen these before.

[@WindowGeek1]

Mike, we’ve had these for years in our window business. We make custom built to opening sizes for new and old buildings. Our measuring crews use a laser that will send the dimensions by Bluetooth to a tablet onto a spreadsheet. We don’t have to remember the measurements and don’t have to write them down. The spreadsheet gets downloaded on our computers back at the office and gets put on each window in the elevation and floor plans. Great stuff!

[@thomaswarnecke3991]

I used the bosch longer distance ones 15 years ago when measuring the NYC schools for cabling projects! They work great. Im talking about 200’ to 300’ distances!

[@richardward6305]

As a Realtor, I couldn't imagine life without my Bosch Laser. I use it on a daily basis. Enjoy Mike!!

[@brucebello2049]

Great review, you have done a fantastic job Mike

[@Michael-sx6zq]

It looks like those lasers have come a long way. One thing to keep in mind with a laser or stud finder or anything with a battery is make sure the battery is good when using. I found this out with a multi meter with a low battery. The numbers I was getting were way off and I thought because it turned on it appeared to be working correctly. I changed the battery and all made good sense again. Good luck.

[@lonniechartrand]

Thanks for the tour! Things are looking good. I, too, was surprised at the accuracy of that laser!!!

[@fixgovnow4284]

Thanks for the info, interesting device.

[@donflack3778]

Very interesting! Thank for the update. KC Don 😉
