@dougie?ÿ I don't think I've ever seen one that isn't obvious. Those curbing layout crews are just messing with us when we can't recognize the geomet...

Most of the three shot readings I take are closely spaced, such as 4.454, 4.454, and 4.453. If I get readings such as these I stop after three shots. ...

@lurker We aren't rocking the rod. It was just an analogy that we use to justify our method.

Welcome! I would be interested in reading about anything you recently learned in college regarding abandoning old surveying methods for new ones.

@rover83 Still, my question remains as to the soundness of our method. I say the outlier, the lowest rod reading in my example, occurred when the rod...

@jitterboogie No problem at all!
