There are two ways to look at this. One is everything expired in 1976, including the 50 foot setback and the sideyard setback. Another way to look a...

I've filed a few recovery notes and I don't think they really get reviewed. I knew a surveyor that called the Power Squadron the Power Rangers, alway...

I personally would not worry about any electrical conflicts, not part of the job in my book unless my company did the plans. I would give the back of...

It seems like I replaced one several years ago that was a bench mark. I remember they sent me the procedure for running level to it, it wasn't compli...

Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

My most used is an HP35s, but I also have a 48 and a 41.

One point I'd like to make is this a survival situation? In the previous thread there were a lot of good recommendations but if you can go get in the...

Wilwaw, that doesn't sound like a bad method to me. I'm a fan of turning angles more than once to detect blunders and such. Whats nice about the met...

For some reason, some other posts have touched on it, some irons just don't ring up. Some of them have been mine and haven't been in the ground that ...

We went to Mexico for a week this last summer. Our cell phones didn't work there and I made no effort to get "connected" while I was gone. Best vaca...

I've had a few over the years. Most of the time its when I walked near a tree or building. I've also had it happen when doing topo on a 4 wheeler, y...

I guess I'm missing why a new description is being prepared every time a property is surveyed? Some attorney does it?Yes it clouds the title.

Unless I'm creating a new tract of ground, I rarely write a new legal description. I just show the measured distances vs the platted distances. The ...

Once I get points out of the data collector I strictly work with the points on the screen. I unlock them to rotate them or move them and it I add poi...

What algorithims? To be honest, I'm not sure what my data collector uses. I understand it to be some kind of least squares adjustment. The tilt woul...

If you have a smartphone, you might look at some aps for it.
