ABSTRACT:
A measuring system for making accurate measurements when cutting building material to fit odd or uneven shapes. The measuring system comprises two types of measuring blocks. The first block is used to measure distances between two uncovered wall studs or joists, and the second block is used to measure distances between an uncovered wall stud or joist and a surface which is covered with a material such as wallboard. By nailing the blocks around the perimeter of the opening, that the building material will cover, and using a plurality of tape measures to obtain at least two measurements from two fixed points to selected points around the perimeter of the opening, accurate dimensions may be obtained regardless of how out of plumb or uneven the opening may be. The system also includes a jig for transferring these dimensions onto the material to be cut, and a tool that can be attached to the end of a tape measure to obtain an accurate mark on the material to be cut.
