Hello all,

I'm just a surveyor from NH that works in primarily in the heavy civil construction industry to pay the bills and I dabble in the residential stuff as a side hustle.

I'm here to learn and connect with experienced professionals. Any guidance and advice is always appreciated.

?ÿ

Waving back at you from way Down Under.

Kia ora and welcome. How's the snow pack around your place right now?

You will find this place a great source of info.

Please jump on in and contribute...

Using your own equipment, under your own license, with knowledge of your employer.....of course

@jph

Yes to all. Self employed, 1 man show. I used to be an employee for a large construction company and learned that if I want to use and actually keep my license, I need to be the one who calls the shots. Went out on my own, converted my employer into a customer and never looked back.

If you go south is Colorado the first State you would hit?

If I go north the first State I would hit is Missouri, by a few miles.

Have land in Oklahoma where if I go north I hit Colorado.

@holy-cow Yep. I'm about 15 miles north of the Colorado border. In the panhandle.

We drove between Chadron (where my wife's brother lives) and Benkelman once.?ÿ We somehow made it to the true southeast corner of the Panhadle.?ÿ Had a neighbor's daughter living in Sidney for several years as her husband was an administrator in the community college there.?ÿ Someday I hope to make it to Kimball as I grew up near the now-extinct town of Kimball in Kansas.?ÿ Started out at Kimball Grade School.

@holy-cow Small world for sure. I'm in Sidney. My kid goes to that college! I definitely love it here, cool little town, no stress. Kimball is a nice little place. Slowly dying but we've seen the oil exploration crews up here a lot lately so maybe there'll be another boom? Ha! Unlikely
