What is the best way to make a level chalk line, along the roof trim, that is 65 feet long? Is it even possible?

Thanks!

You could use a water level (what they it use to level the home) to make two level marks at the ends and then snap your line between the marks.

Laser level if you have an unobstructed view down the side of the home.
A line level should put you "Close enough" that you would never notice.
