This RS was a lot of fun. Had a nice problem to deal with. Got to speak to an irate attorney who was in her jammys, who then called the sheriff and also her crazy husband who raced up and skidded next to me and jumped out in a rage...really interesting morning that one was.

The sheriff pulled up, heard my side, heard the neighbor verify my story, and went and spoke to Mr hothead that he and his legal eagle wife cannot interfere with my work! YAY :good: :good:

Anyway...

This survey is still in map check, but here is a PDF link to it..You'll see typos I am sure LOL

I make mention to a few maps and field books so I'll post some JPG's of those..I hope they come out OK

MR 7 page 73 - this shows the homestead dimensions, in part

Detail of homestead note

MB 8 page 155

Hope Heights

Hope Heights was the first subdivision within the homestead being a portion of the homestead.

The one comment I have on this survey is that I was finding all sorts of other surveys that just slapped stuff together. It's a sad situation when you come across work like that...

Anyway.. I have probably screwed up on this post and omitted a few things, but I do that a lot 😀

The GA Swarthout subd., and Maiden and Prospect kinda' look like a survey you had posted a year or so back. Same survey???

Paul,

I didn't notice any spelling errors per se, but I did notice a couple of aesthetic/technical items that I get really OCD about. IMHO the S89°51'50"E lines and distances on the north and south lines of the "subject parcel", and the N89°55'25"W and distance, etc. need to be flipped 180° so the plat can be read from 2 directions... Unless you flip them on purpose on the "subject parcel".

That's about the only things I noticed.

I can't get over how busy the CA RS plans are to the eye. is it required to label lines "graphic only", and to list the taxation history? There is so much to read and look at that it's confusing to this Colonial MA surveyor.

I like the thoroughness of the plan, not only can we discover what you did, but also WHY you did it. My plans are made to be easy to follow but I don't get all wordy about why i did it. (I'm sure spledeus will be along to mention that difference in our work!)

Are all RS plans as thorough and detailed?

Curiosity questions:

I'm not sure what your LEAD/TAG looks like-not sure the same kind of marking is used around here. Could you post a picture?

And didn't California try to ban lead or make it too hard to comply with safety rules?
