I found this video while searching for lessons on surgical methods so I wouldn't have to hire one of those expensive medical doctors.
We've seen worse.?ÿ At least he is finding monuments and not just saying the GIS is right.
Though he didn't check the distances with his tape to see if any of them were goat stakes or offset adjoiner lots. Some discussion of that could help viewers avoid nasty mistakes.
I thought it was weird that he didn't center his location dot on the app's illustration of the corner each time.
It appears that particular GIS was pretty close - better than most I've seen.
It's always interesting - and telling - that none of these realtors ever bring in a licensed surveyor for these videos.

I know better, but I threw my two cents in as I was drinking my second cup of coffee...I think I last commented on a non-SurveyorConnect site about three months ago, so I'm good through the end of the year...
Love the use of the hula hoop.
Would it really??ÿ Seems like he's just telling how to find existing monuments, not instructing how to set new ones.
That said, I know that GIS in my local area wouldn't get you within a hula hoop of the monument

Stay away from these guy's......... ???? ....they make you pay shipping costs
I'm getting a mental visual of the neighbor looking out his window and seeing me wander by holding my cell phone in front of me in one hand while holding a hot pink hula hoop in the other with a shovel and electronic gadget dragging along behind me affixed to a tether on my belt.

Better to have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.?ÿ Say that fast three times.
Going to need at least a 30' wide hula hoop around here. Be kind of awkward to drag around.
This video reminds me of a show, Hometime with hosts Dean Johnson and Joanne Liebler. They were making important decisions about major changes to houses, but never revealed their relationship to each other (married? boyfriend/girfriend? business partners). Nor did they reveal their relationship to the house (owners? renovating for free in exchange for the expected profits on the TV show? contractors?). Without understanding their financial interest, it was hard to decide if their decisions made any sense.
Likewise, the presenter of the video in this thread doesn't say if he is acting as an owner, real estate agent, friend, unlicensed land surveyor, or maybe just stopping by a home where the owners are away. Without understanding his position, it's impossible to evaluate whether his actions are lawful.
Suppose he's the owner. If he just found the rebars without making a video, or didn't derive any income from posting a video, his actions are probably lawful, assuming the neighbors don't mind the minor grass disturbance. But if he derives advertising income from the video, does that turn it into unlawful land surveying?
I always heard it as?ÿ
"I would rather have a free bottle in front of me rather than a free frontal lobotomy!
Love the comments.?ÿ ?ÿThat lot is a dang Unicorn, too.?ÿ ?ÿNo trees, no fences, 90's and all marked out and a GIS that looks to be pretty decent linework.?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ?ÿ
