Finished a tricky cedar fence in Boise last week

The grade dropped a full 18 inches across the back lot line. Ended up stepping the panels and using a string line for three hours to get the top rail perfect. Anyone have a better method for a steep slope like that?

Been there, man. That string line is a lifesaver.

My buddy used one to keep his deck boards straight, worked like a charm.

What kind of project were you working on that made the string line so important? I've seen people use them for everything from fences to tile floors. Just curious what your specific use was.
