Go to Job #1 where we had subdivided a section last May as everything was greening up. Found four turning point nails we had left behind very quickly. Sat on one, sited another, rotated and set the center of section at a distance of about 150 feet from the setup, but, which we could not clear enough to make the shot last May without a chainsaw being involved (not the client's trees). Moved to a different TP, went through similar motions and set a new property corner at about 700 feet. The last 100 feet was through a maze of branches, but, clear as a bell directly on our needed line of site today. We were onsite less than 70 minutes.
Went to Job #2 about three miles to the east on the same road. Wham, bam, thank ya, Ma'am. Went slicker than scum on a swamp. No traffic, clear shots, great repeatability. Compared my results with road/railroad plans from 1961. Everything fit incredibly well.
:good: :good:
you are tempting the god of survey for an imminent smiting
was also thinking about the survey gods!
some guys have all the luck!
chr.
You should have quietly said "thank you" and chalked it up to dumb luck.
You will be royally scr*wed on the next job.
What, no Osage Orange in the way?
2 in. to the left, 2 in. to the right, 6 in. up and 1 in. down.
I sure am glad we don't have many of those things in Georgia. They're as hard as a rock and have THORNS. I've only seen a couple of them here and I'm sure they were transplants.
