I finally understood why my dad always used a string line after a job in Austin.
We were putting up a long cedar fence on a slope, and I figured I could just eyeball the posts. Halfway through, the homeowner came out and said, 'Looks a bit like a rollercoaster from my kitchen window.' I had to pull three posts and start over with a proper line. How do you guys handle long runs on uneven ground to keep things straight?

Tell me about the slope, was it a steady grade or did it have a couple of weird dips in it? I'm trying to picture if you needed to step the fence or just follow the contour.

Oh man, @beth553, it was totally uneven. There were a few of those weird dips you mentioned, like little gullies. We had to step the fence in two spots for sure.
