You have to chalk it anyway once you figure out your floor edge widths and lay any paper down, so you won't be able to see the sheeting lines. To check square, I'd use a laser with lines at 90 degrees. They are pretty cheap these days. | |

| Dec 17, 2023 at 19:54 | comment | added | J.D. Mallen | No matter what, I'll be using a single straight chalkline squared up to some part of the house. I'm just wondering if it's better to square up to a common intersection of floor joists or two different walls on opposite ends of the house. | |
