3,4,5? on your tape measure 3ft up your chalk line from centre of the room then 4ft to the right or left of line. Then from the 3ft mark measure 5ft to the 4ft mark, then at the point these two meet put a mark through it to form an x. now string you line through your centre mark through your 345 mark from wall to wall. now you will have 4 right angles a square floor. simples

In most cases it is insanity !! Yea the odd small floor yes, but these guys need to know the principle of setting out a floor !!
And the ?????????????? for 3 4 5..... this is the basic principle for finding 90 degree angles....
this will explain better than I can...
