I caught some hell once for re-tying corners for a parcel consolidation following an ALTA that was about 1 year old with a short tempered "we don't ne...

No, but fortunately for us measurements aren't at the top of the priority of calls.

So, what kicks of a revisit?Like bionicman said if it's inside the window of previous work then a drive by is probably fine. If it's a gorgeous sunny...

If you’re basing a survey off of a calculated monument it means you have not visited it and therefore can’t say with any certainty that it exists or i...

I'm pretty picky about having my own stuff read clockwise, but if you're doing something like a property split survey then the common line is gonna re...

It is pretty common to show mons even though they are calculated.That seems more confusing than helpful to me and I'm learning about how you guys do t...

In school we went clockwise and turned angles right, but I haven't used a non-robotic total station anywhere I've worked so it's been all sets.

I think if I were to do this I probably wouldn't show any monument symbols on it though.

It is stamped and signed.I see. I've prepared descriptions from record data only and in those cases I include a note saying as much, but I think this ...

This survey isn't a survey. Classic! Is it stamped and signed? Maybe some rando took a site plan and recorded it without telling the guy.

I don't know if I've seen a slide rule before, I must have, but if I did I'm pretty sure I didn't know what I was looking at. I've seen a curta befor...

I've never been to one and I'm not sure what it is actually. To a newbie it mostly looks like a huge sales pitch for Trimble gear. Is it worth going...

Taking the reverse case, it would be absurd to apply the standard of care appropriate for a sold-by-the square-inch lot in downtown Portland to a ten ...

@thebionicman It is unfortunate the most common accomplice The Surveyor) rarely gets taken to task.How so? Seems like most of canals I come across hav...

@bill93 My question is: if I talk them i to it, would it make sense to ask for a riparian boundary along the lowest channel of the rather deep creek?I...

@OleManRiver Unless he specifically wants that toe monumented. With rebar or whatever. Just let the toe be the monument along the toe etc.I'm in Idaho...

The toe of the berm is not a natural monument and the way that the easement description may or may not change when the course of the canal does.You're...

Why would you shoot the thing and not put rebar in at the same time?The owner wasn't sure how exactly he wanted the parcels configured at the time he ...

That's a really good idea, should probably have done that now that I think about it. Looking at my calc drawing the furthest I'm showing my boundary f...
