The present invention relates to measuring apparatus for pulling a measurement from an underlying base structure. In one aspect, the present invention is a measuring apparatus having a rigid body and means for coupling the body to an underlying base structure. The rigid body includes a first laser and is adapted to receive a portion of a tape measure therein. The means for coupling the rigid body to the underlying base structure can be one or more conventional fasteners, such as, but not limited to, a bar clamp, suction cups, screws, bolts, nails, pins, hooks, hook and loop fastener, snaps, clips, brackets, and/or sleeves. Generally, the first laser is oriented such that light emitted from the laser is projected about 90 degrees from the face of the underlying structure.

1. A measuring apparatus comprising: a rigid body having a first laser and is adapted to receive a portion of a tape measure; andmeans for coupling the rigid body to an underlying base structure,wherein, the first laser is oriented such that light emitted from the laser is projected at substantially 90 degrees from a plane defined by a face of the underlying base structure. 2. The measuring apparatus of claim 1, wherein rigid body is removably coupled to the underlying base structure. 3. The measuring apparatus of claim 2, wherein the means for coupling the rigid body to the underlying base structure is selected from the group consisting of bar clamps, suction cups, screws, bolts, nails, pins, hooks, hook and loop fasteners, snaps, clips, brackets, and/or sleeves. 4. The measuring apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a second laser. 5. The measuring apparatus of claim 4, wherein the second laser emits light along a plane substantially parallel to the face of the underlying base structure. 6. The measuring apparatus of claim 4, further comprising a third laser. 7. The measuring apparatus of claim 6, wherein the third laser emits light along a plane substantially parallel to the face of the underlying base structure. 8. The measuring apparatus of claim 1, wherein the rigid body includes a channel operable to receive a tape hook therein. 9. The measuring apparatus of claim 8, wherein the channel includes a magnet therein. 10. The measuring apparatus of claim 1, wherein the rigid body includes a first level indicator to determine the orientation of the measuring apparatus about a first axis. 11. The measuring apparatus of claim 10, wherein the rigid body includes a second level indicator to determine the orientation of the measuring apparatus about a second axis. 12. A measuring system comprising: a measuring apparatus comprising a rigid body having a first laser and means for removably coupling the rigid body to an underlying base structure, wherein the first laser is oriented such that light emitted from the first laser is projected at substantially 90 degrees from a plane defined by a face of the underlying base structure; anda first reflector adapted to be removably secured to the underlying base structure. 13. The measuring system of claim 12, wherein the measuring apparatus includes a second laser oriented such that light emitted from the second laser is projected along a path substantially parallel to the plane defined by the face of the underlying base structure. 14. The measuring system of claim 13, further comprising a second reflector adapted to be removably secured to the underlying base structure. 15. The measuring system of claim 14, further comprising a tape measure having a reflector. 16. The measuring system of claim 15, further comprising a plumb line. 17. A method of measuring comprising the steps of: coupling a measuring apparatus to an underlying structure having a first laser oriented at about 90 degrees from a face of the underlying structure and a second laser oriented along a plane that is substantially parallel with the face of the underlying structure;securing a first reflector to the underlying structure;aligning light emitted from the second laser with the first reflector;coupling a tape measure to the measuring apparatus; andpulling a measurement from the underlying structure. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising the step of aligning light emitted from the first laser with the tape measure. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein the measuring apparatus includes a third laser. 20. The method of claim 19, further comprising the step of aligning light emitted from the third laser with a second reflector coupled to the underlying structure.
