How many times have you dealt with a landowner who insisted a bunch of monuments were wrong for some reason when they actually fit the record pretty w...
Do you do honest work? If so then no, it isn't.
That doesn't necessarily mean anything bad. The equipment we use is very good but even the stuff we use isn't able to get the exact same measurement ...
3 vacation days a month? No wonder I have such a hard time getting a hold of government employees.

I don't think understanding datums and projections is gonna help when they're trying to mix and match record data to the nearest 0.5' from 150 years w...
You won't hear me complaining about any landowners who decide to settle their dispute for free.
Yeah, I've seen the option to set a scale factor with total station work but I've never been asked to do it or even seen anyone else do it. For whate...
I remember using no projection no datum once or twice in the past and I'm trying to remember why we did that. I know on one of the projects we had cr...

I think they'd most appreciate a recording law and surveys with narratives.
@field-dog Hmm, yeah that's a little unusual. What is the typical difference between grid and ground in this area?
I'm confused. Are you saying your GPS and robot measurements don't agree by some significant amount?
@williwaw Right, but at which rate does nothing grow? I'm sure it's just some arbitrary relative scale, but I was just laughing at how ambiguous it i...
