    Nice job, we all like to make tools to make the job easier. It always seems there is one thing left on the truck when we are on the third floor.
    An quick solution to this problem is place end of tape in corner make a mark at 10" reverse tape to other corner measure to the 10" mark and add 10" to reading.
    Reading from corner to 10" mark 67 7/16"+10"=77 7/16".

    Or simply use a bulldog clip with one side reduced in length.

    Yet another internet video where you have NO IDEA where it is going until the end.

    Your last 60 seconds should have been the FIRST 60 seconds. And there should have been a voice narration to accompany it.

    PS: It is a good idea.
