Just got a phone call-
Me - How can I help you?
Caller - The City said I need a survey to put up my shed. I've never done that before. Do you have to pay for them or what?

Heck, I hear that if you get there by 2 PM Snoop will throw in a case of beer.
My call yesterday, "I need a foundation verification, how much?".
Me: $300-$400 if I did not do the stake out for the buildings"
Client: Title lady has a list that says they can get them for $75.
Me: That's a very good price, you should use them.
Title Companies, gotta love em.

Yesterday,
I need a copy of my survey (here we go)
I had a survey when we closed on the property 15 years ago but it got destroyed in a flood, and the village said I need one to get a permit for putting up a fence.
I'm calling all the surveyors in the phone book, I'm going down the list. Did you do my survey 15 years ago ?
True story
We didn't do her survey. (yes, I actually checked)
You should have said "I love my job so much, I'll pay YOU to complete a survey".
I have several extra ones in a file cabinet where I keep the round toits. They're from clients who paid for surveys but didn't bother to pick them up. Stop by the office and take a couple.
