What is the mistake?

Well, in this case HC proved the "Newby" wrong by locating the original corner 20' from where it was placed by the "one and done". It doesn't sound li...

I have never understood objections to this. If the cord bearing and length are provided, whats the problem??ÿ

Absolutely, but without any evidence to the contrary, the original survey is the best evidence.?ÿ If you have recovered multiple corners in the townsh...

I definitely agree with this. I've run into trouble too many times with surveyors who claim all the surveys in their area are fradulant, or that none ...

I completely agree with the gist of your post, but I don't get calling an 1857 survey "fiction" for being 20 feet off. What makes you think they didn'...

FYI, the tall mountain no longer shares a name with a president (and it never did for Alaskans).

Why does this pose a difficulty for a price estimate??ÿ Don't all the same considerations that every estimate involves come into play??ÿ

I assume the cm accuracy requirement is only for relative positions, meaning you want to know exactly how each item you find is related to all the oth...

I understand your stance on proffesionalism versus regulation, but unfortunately our proffesion has a history of producing sub proffesional work when ...

Probably not a client you want to be working for, but sometimes it is actually possible?ÿ to survey "just one side". I don't see a problem with produc...

If they are buildable lots, then you are right, but I get the impression that building on the "strips" would block access to landlocked parcels, and t...

These are exactly the kinds of parcels the doctrine of strips and gores is ment to address. Often a land surveyor can apply the doctarain as appropria...

I understand your hesitation, but I think we need to step up as a profession and make calls like this. We are really the only ones who know the law. Y...

Why do we need regulations telling us to cap our monuments? We should be doing it becasue we take pride in our work. In my opinion putting a piece of ...
