So Friday the title guy for my project walks into the office and says; “come here” and we go into the conference room. He puts down the new map with my new boundary, along the section lines of the boundary are two lines, mine and the-whatever the heck the other ones are.
He says; “Look, they left them on there, you want to know what the guy said to me?”
I say; “Sure, I guess.”
Title guy looks at me and says; “He says that your lines created an overlap.”
I just had to laugh, should be pissed but why bother.
Title guy looks at me and says; “I’ve never seen anything like it, they just don’t understand that the computer junk is junk, they can’t let go of it.”
We had a two hour meeting with them explaining everything, but still they don’t get it, I think I must be awful at teaching this stuff.
I looked at him and said; “Glad this is your problem and not mine.”
He looks at me, looks at the map, throws his cowboy hat on the desk and says; “$%*&$, I know, and that’s what really gets me ##$%&%#.”
Picks up the hat sits it back on his head and stomps off.
He’s going to have so much fun with this.;-)
I've had the same problem. What get's me is when they put the lines on the map they think nothing of it. They need to get their feet held to the fire for practicing land surveying once that line is put on a map. :-O
Pablo B-)
Pablo, and it's not so much putting it on the map, it's getting them to take it off, lol.
It's strange, I have one company I do permitting work with that is so anal about lines and symbols that one of my guys copied a symbol for brass caps and put them on our drawing and we got chewed out that the grip for the block wasn't at the end of the line and the point number. We don't care about that, but they sure do. And they wanted everything surveyed and monumented "before" the started the process.
Then I have these guys doing permitting work and they are leaving section lines 150' off mine on the drawings to be filed. And declaring an "overlap".
Two different companies and two totally different outlooks, one is so concerned that property lines are perfect and the other who doesn't even understand much of anything about a property line even when I explain it to them.
To be fair to them, the one guy at the shop who understood it left them and another one who was a senior enginerd who would listen also is gone, so just a bunch of young kids fresh out of school. What the heck do they teach about this in enginearding these days:-O
