Appeasing a whackadoo
Just curious how others might approach this. Few years back client did a job in a rather old and messed up subdivision and a couple of this fellows pins were bumped by contractor’s equipment. We had done a design survey and made ties to all the corners in question and post construction received a complaint from this person that their pins had been disturbed. I went out a found both pins in their original location, one slightly bent which I straightened and re-set, the other unmolested but missing the plastic cap. The pins in question had been set in 2017 by another surveyor who chose not to hold a number of found monuments in the area and he filed a Record of Survey. I’ve now been out to this property three times in an attempt to appease him. What he is asking is that I replace any corner that might have been bumped with a new pin with my LS number and make a record of it. What it comes down to is should I replace another surveyor’s (now deceased) pin (minus the original cap), with one of my own when the original pin is in it’s original location (prior to our work) and file a monument record? Further, would I then incur some liability for the original surveyor’s survey? This guy is convinced that without the 50 cent plastic cap on the pin, it is no longer a valid ‘legal’ corner and he flies off into a tirade when I try and explain anything otherwise.
