You must have been too busy working this week to keep up with your SurveyorConnect posts. This first came up on [msg=284147]Tuesday[/msg], although the HuffPost piece is new and the survey company name is new information. Sucks to be them.

The survey company mentioned in this article was did the last survey on the property.

Another article mentioned the other survey company that did the final survey after construction who made the same mistake.

It took an unmentioned third company to find and report the problem.

It wasn't until September, six months after the Voss house was completed, that a survey crew working nearby uncovered the error and notified the community manager, who then called Keystone Homes.

:-O

What's going on with you, Nate?

Been busy working on finishing off your baseball team made up solely of DeAryan's?

I am still riding the tick illness. I have good and bad days. The salt allows me to work, but 1/2 throttle is all I can consistently go.

It slows my ability to change subjects. Often, it makes me loose my place.

Buddy, your signature line captializes the word "job". It makes me think maybe you are going thru some minor form of the biblical Job's "adventures" for the moment.

One good thing ...

evidently, the owner visited the site during construction ... he must have liked the house and view and must've been satisfied with the lot that he thought was his.

which should(maybe), mean he will likely be made whole, if the parties involved can somehow put the house on a lot that will belong to the harmed owner.

doesn't something like this leave you just a little ticked . . . Nate?

The first surveyor has 3 complaints from the last decade, the first was dropped for lack of evidence.

The second surveyor has zero complaints but I expect that will change.
