Definitely 50% up front for all new clients. And maybe the same for some returning ones - depending on their history. They have to pay sometime - if...
1. Closed book tests generally aren't looking for nit-picky type things, just typical things that surveyors should know; boundary elements, subdivisi...
If they're square, I'd show an open square symbol. If cylindrical, then an open circle. Back in the day, subdivision plans always depicted found mon...
We got a Nivo a few years ago, and it was pretty frustrating to deal with. I don't know exactly why, but it wouldn't hold 0. You'd set 0, take a han...
Is 0mm or -30mm a better prism offset?I've been using 0mm for a long time - no confusion on instrument or DC settings. Use the prism target for sight...
Don't know any mentors, but the material below helped me with the state specific:Study Guide for Texas Surveyors (B.W. Evans)TSPS Manual of Practice
How tight do you need this?If it's a critical corner - close to the lot line setback - you should probably be shooting it. Otherwise, entering the ta...
Use tripods not poles/bipods. Check/adjust tribrachs often. Check that the prism targets are correctly aligned.
I agree. 99% of the time, the easement is labelled as what it is. But once in a while, it's just, "easement".The conveying document is what's import...
If you can't find the download cable, let me know. I've got one that you can have for a six-pack.
> I agree that the monument holds, issue is that 1) there are no stake and stones out there, just pipes set by who knows, and 2) there are monument...
That sounds like a good idea, but I've seen too many punched aluminum caps lying in the dirt next to the re-bar. At that point, the punch means nothi...
Yeah, we haven't figured that out yet. The process for collecting sets spits out azimuths, but the topo (single angle shots), come out fine in AR. I...

I agree. If you set it, you can't then call it as found. You set it - maybe not recently, but you didn't just find it there. I put, IR SET 6/20/10
Probably been said, but did you pick cable/port vs bluetooth on the DC?
Didn't know that about Strafford - haven't worked there in a while. Thanks
That's my point. A paper copy to save and scan seem like it should be enough. I don't know what today's mylar adds. It's just an extra exercise tha...
