Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Feb 13, 2021

Measured Against The Plumb Line

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 22, 2021

Have you ever seen a plumb line? Simply, it’s a string with a heavy weight tied to one end of it. A bricklayer will hang a plumb line beside a wall that’s under construction, to see if the wall is being built vertical and true.

The Reality Of Accidents

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021
