Got a call from an old client's son. A rancher had decided to split up his place and we had gone out with him to lay out and monument new fencing to split it along lines where the fence would stay up.
Did that, the place got split up into 4 parts, then new owners started to sell those off.
One small parcel kept getting split, then reconfigured then fence line agreements along the original ranch boundary where the fences didn't line up with sectional lines. That small parcel ended up with 3 little 50-100 acre parcels and the remainder.
So I get a call wanting a drawing of the remainder, the client's son has a buyer.
I tell them to use the one in the courthouse, they don't understand so I look and there is no drawing. The title people just reference the original parcel and the 3 different splits and all the fence line agreements in a very confusing description. I look through the files in the office and there never was a drawing produced, the date for the work is 1991 and again in 1995. It's getting difficult to remember all this stuff. Even one of the guys in the office said he knows where the drawing is and by gosh there isn't one.
While I worked on it a little, by the end I was long gone doing out of town work and I didn't get into all the problems getting the client to pay for?ÿthe work and changes. Seems it was messy and no one wanted to put in any more time into the project. Explains a lot.

It is almost certain that as soon as you create a drawing from the old notes. You will find the original.?ÿ
