I just use a posterboard with 23 horizontal lines, one for each address. 

I am paying for the Land, soft cost and horizontal costs from my own money so where does the cash to close come from.

I took a leveler of about 5 ft long and when I place horizontally I can see bumps of about 1/4 inch in several places.

Install a 1x4 or 2x4 piece of wood horizontally where the chair will hit and paint it.

Horizontal cracks in basement walls are bad news.

It comes up into a box outside the house, runs horizontally, then into the house to the water meter.The box is full of insulation, but will still get cold when the house is not heated.

The problem spots have probably been replaced, they usually fail at around the 70-80 year mark,10' to 20' from where they go horizontal from a toilet tie-in (if that description makes any sense).

I know an alternate detail is to put continuous insulation horizontally from the building buried at a depth of 18-24" and out a considerable distance (maybe 10').

Do you just measure the horizontal distance and then add some safety margin to the numbers?

Some anchor bolts look like an "L", so the bolt cures both horizontally and vertically in foundational concrete.
