We found one like that when we were in a nearby city. It was obvious that the crew had pulled it out and left it on the bank to install a utility pole. It was an historic marker of a city layout from 1890.
We made a report to the city engineer and asked if there was anything they could do to educates these utility crews. I mean, is the location for a utility pole that precise? I am sure they could have set it ten feet away with no problem.
The city engineer said they could sue the utility for the cost of replacing the monument. That would be a lesson.
@andy-bruner I wish I still had the picture, but I saw where a fence builder used an iron to tighten the h-brace.?ÿ Sent the pic to my boss and said CIRF (capped iron rod found).?ÿ All of the corners were like this.?ÿ His response was "Well @#$@#"
Probably the same guy a few years apart.?ÿ Dumb surveyors with dumb employees can do anything.
You might not believe this but...
Found this today and it's the same gentleman on both caps.?ÿ ?????????ÿ This is a different project by a dozen miles than the other photo I posted in this thread, and unfortunately he is one of the participants in that previous photo.
I blocked out the name again because apparently he is still working; his number is one of the lowest I've seen in my state so I thought for sure he was retired.?ÿ Anyway, I seem to be on a roll with these things-- I hadn't found any pincushions in 5 years and now I found 2 in a week or so.
@bstrand the crew for the top rod and cap would be fired if they were mine. Everyone knows you're supposed to cut out the bottom cap just enough so your cap sits flush with the other when you pincushion.
