I have been asked to write two legal descriptions, for a exchange survey, that was done by another surveyor, now out of business, I will call him Mr. Peckerface.
Two adjoining tracts revised the boundary between each other, normally not a big deal.
The previous surveyor, Mr. Peckerface, did not create identify a common POB, between the two tracts, so, technically, one of the tracts does not have a POB identified on the map.
The closest common corner is about 17' away from the identified POB.
I think that all I can do is add a clarifying call for the second tract and add few extra comments here and there, but damn you would think Mr. Peckerface would have noticed and moved the POB another 17'.
Of course, they need this Monday morning, first thing.
Let me get this straight...
Your asking industry colleagues here a question relating to the actions of another industry colleague (regardless of his mistakes) by nicknaming that person with a derogatory expression?
Sorry, can't help you brother.
I did not ask a question.

What is this "industry" of which you speak, Technician Johnson.
To borrow a phrase from the Laird of Austin, I see no "survey factories" about.

I was just making a basic observation, if it came out across wrong I apologize.
No need to resorting to rankism and/or mispelling my name.

No worries, mate, water under the bridge.
Now back to the original thread.
I don't prepare legals unless I do the field work. Part of the reason is that you can’t prepare a proper legal without being on the ground.
So what?
> I have been asked to write two legal descriptions... The previous surveyor did not create identify a common POB....
A Point of Beginning has no mystical powers that other corners don't have. Are the descriptions otherwise compatable? If so, you have no problem.
