Working for the Third Generation

Met with a client today who is somewhere in her 70's. The land passed from her grandparents to her parents to her and she has already passed one portion of it to her daughter. One of her cousins owns most of the remaining land and we surveyed that for him five years ago. No, this isn't a farm. This is right in the middle of a small town. Originally there was a 20 acre aliquot owned by her grandparents. Then roads were constructed on the four sides that are now city streets. Four small lots were cut off the south end. One small lot was cut off the northeast corner. Two oddly-shaped tracts were whittled off the west side. One rectangular tract starts on the east side and runs into one of the odd lots on the west side which separates her south two tracts from the north one and her cousin's property.

The fun part is that I worked out all of the history of the land and the various tracts five years ago for her cousin. We searched then at every corner for monuments. So, all we need to do is tie to about 10 bars that we set five years ago, apply the methodology used then and start setting monuments at the corners of her land that we have not previously monumented. Can anyone spell, JACKPOT?

BTW, we found all the necessary bars in less than one hour today.
