Hello

I bought a transit level about 3 years ago now.  I need some help with laying down some stakes to figure out where the contour lines are. I can't afford to pay anyone at th Time of this writing. It's less than an acre. I Am in Morgan hill, California.

You can make this with 3 boards. Marking contour can be done with one person .

Are you looking for instructions on how to use the transit level, or are you looking for volunteers to actually come and help? I'm nowhere near you, but I know how you can shoot your contours.

OK! I thought so, wasn't sure so I figured I'd check before explaining what you already know!
