Seriously. Sloppiness should not be tolerated. Make the effort to remember that the bearings used in a metes and bounds description on a survey plat s...

1. Great luck! 2. We all hope you put that pin back where you found it. 3. Now that you have a pin, you have something to adjust your search grid to ...

I used Zelle once and didn’t have a problem, but I read something, I dunno, 2 or 3 months ago that said it was kind of susceptible to fraud or somethi...

Don’t say something is the same as at some earlier time unless you know for a fact that it is. 100% on this one.

One other thing, people often become office hobbits by habit. When a crew guy is out sick, do you volunteer. Are your boots and vest there ready to go...

The office work is a necessary phase for becoming a fully rounded surveyor. That said, I know plenty of PLS's that end up back in the field full time....

I was referring to the subdivision boundary only, not lot lines. Is there a difference? I draw out the plat exactly as the stamping surveyor has it sh...
