It isn't enough that your referenced centerline control checks wonderfully with itself but your call/ tie from there to your NE monument just doesn't.

You had to go and completely ignore the old (1.0' deep) concrete monument I found at that NE corner and "set" yours a foot further north. But then, by "set" you apparently meant you drew a nice little circle on this piece of paper I found at the courthouse. Stupid me to think that paper could (should?) be helpful.

No harm, no foul. Right?

So in good fun, here I've been trying to get things together and make this little survey work. I'll scratch up your interior subdivision and make a call on the NE corner... just let me find some of your fronts and I'll work it back.

Well @#$% ME! Those "X's cut in concrete S/W" for your new fronts (unless otherwise noted). You know what... there's not 1 F'n 'X' in the entire sidewalk. For that matter (based on your own reference to centerline control) those fronts shouldn't even HIT the @#$%ing xxx-damned sidewalk.

signed,

Am I low-balling if I give a good price based on research and a site visit and then spend so much time solving the headaches that my hourly shakes out under $40 but I still love the job and will probably keep doing it this way until I'm convinced that I can't rely on any previous work and begin to price myself out of every opportunity? :woot: :snarky: B-)

vent closed.

Now, now, now. His plat says Block 14 but he actually surveyed Block 19. What's a little typo amount to anyway.

There be a handful of surveyor's names I've paid in blood, sweat and tears to learn to cringe upon learning I will need to follow and rely upon, and my estimate is commensurate.

Some days our task at hand is to create a document that shows just how screwed up the project is and see how far it swims upstream.
