Reply to "Alternative method of solo taping (illustrated)"

I originally tried to use nails. It was 20 deg F out and I was having a helluva time trying to pound them in.

I was using concrete nails and even tried a hand (4 lb?)sledge hammer. They would bend, come flying back at me, go in crooked...

That's when I gave up and rigged up the skid.

My 330 foot tape has its zero mark offset from the end. That eliminates one more possible source of error.

In warm asphalt, it probably would have gone much better.
