@on_point I'm not responsible for their poor planning. My proposals state that I need at least 2 day's prior notice on a staking request. I also s...

@dougie This is why I can not understand contractor's eagerness to get into the layout game. Not that I mind it.

Most of my work is for design projects so with the exception of maps that need to be recorded, usually 18" x 24", I use ANSI D (22"x34") to match the ...

@dmyhill If you have a 3rd party certificate, you can apply it to CAD files without locking them. Your digital signature disappears as soon as the ...

@norman-oklahoma I have a bunch of boxes of actual PK nails in my supply room. Most are 3/4" if your looking for some for sentimental reasons.

@dougie Unfortunately, on most of the construction sites I work on you are required to wear a vest or some other hi-vis clothing. Along with hard h...

On my way out the door but I'm sure I will be back. I need to get started on finishing my back patio. Happy Memorial Day

Funny, I don't recall typewriters having 2 quotation mark keys. Reviewers seem to have to bleed on your work to prove their value. I have found it a...

@holy-cow Thread hi-jack warning. I just saw the coolest hydro axe. It was a remote-control tracked unit about half the size of a bobcat. It went...

Have you tried to isolate the areas with larger than expected errors and run the adjustment between those sets of azimuth pairs separately. Another i...

Try the Rhine Cross group in Klamath Falls. Ask for Keith.
