A roofer is frustrated with the difficulty of layout and leveling on a hospital green roof with thick dirt and plant coverage, where using a laser level requires arriving at 5 AM to get usable readings.
Laser levels cannot penetrate thick dirt and plant material on green roofs, forcing early-morning workarounds that are inefficient and frustrating.
