I've never heard of that and it doesn't make any sense to me either. Maybe they want you to do a record of survey on the property first so they can ...

@bc-surveyor I forgot about those slam scanners. If you can walk the whole site waving that scan stick thing around then yeah I bet that's pretty fas...

Goal post for sure. It's bad enough when 5 and 6 look the same, we don't need 4 and 9 too.

No, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's 10 times faster to just run around with a rod and tape than it is to move a scanner around a buncha times.

It's nice that all of these places are using common sense to answer the question, but if you're faced with recording a survey where this situation exi...

BLM Monte who I'm pretty sure has posted here before too.

Depends on the kind of survey. If it's a handful of trees sprinkled around a design topo then I'll probably do an offset to the center like I do tele...

That must have been what I was looking at; great find. The situation I've got going on is a little different than the example I originally posted, b...

Monte might not be posting but pretty sure he is still around, I'm expecting to see him at the Idaho conference in a couple weeks.

@dave-o Yes, which is why I thought there was a rule created exactly for addressing the situation. I think so, yes, and that is the rule I'm t...

Yeah, I could see how that might sound a little bit fishy, but maybe they genuinely don't know what to call the type of survey they want. As far as ...

@lurker Yeah, I don't think it counts as that. I think it more than likely qualifies as abandoned real estate, in Idaho anyway, but I could have swo...

The anvils are nice and I've seen wood block versions of the same thing for sale at the conferences here, but you still need to put fingers between th...

@olemanriver I actually looked into something kinda sorta related briefly; a tabletop laser engraver to use instead of a stamp set. I've got a PC w...

Ah yeah, that's a prime scenario to get burned unless the pipe was there before brass cap was set... then it's just embarrassing.

Must be a helluva disease if they can't operate as a reference. 😏 I've run into a bit of the same thing except mine are retired. I'm plann...

@mightymoe Oh, this doesn't seem that bad at all. Ignore the bogus witness corner and all the nonsense associated with it. I've found the annoyin...

@norman-oklahoma Yeah, the question was partially tongue in cheek and I don't expect I would throw my hands up in hopeless frustration if faced wit...

I can't really tell what's going on, but why was a witness corner set when the actual corner monument was apparently never wiped out?
