I'm driving myself nuts trying to build this thing level to within 1/8 to 1/4" !

I'm using a gardenhose, terminating in clear PVC tubing at each end, to get reference points at the four corners.

The thing is that the level varies 1/2" or more over hours. One end will be up, 1/2" over where it was an hour ago and the other end down. Then it changes, etc. How can a guy get a reliable reading this way?

Is the friction in the hose too big to reliably use this as a level?

Do I need to terminate each end in funnels to get bigger ambient pressure?
