I've seen other guys that won't do a resection but they will setup and backsight a point 40 meters away and shoot a point 60 meters away, then check i...

One of the tricks I use when plotting old deeds in poles is just to plug in the description as-is, then scale it up by 16.5. Saves a lot of converting...

@bstrand I used/processed the fbk back when I was using Softdesk/LDD. It was fine. I even preferred the cleaner look to it vs the rw5, which Carls...

They better be willing to pay for every minute of training you need, as well as throw in a nice big pay bump for you taking this on. Eh, I get your...

There's a problem when the industry standard for survey-CAD has a raw data processing/import routine that some are referring to it as, " antiquated mo...

@kevin-hines I've used one of these type of things before. They're actually pretty decent, especially if you have a large project with a lot of MH'...

Points/Move Point Attributes - Single or Points/Move Point Attributes with Leader

Apparently you, too, are troubled when you find monuments not in concert with their record No, not troubled. I expect it, but still need to corrob...

Par for the course and he didn't break any laws. Exactly. And the land was worth a lot less than the cost of a survey at the time.

I'm troubled with finding monuments that seem to be the corners but are feet off the record dimensions. Really? That's pretty normal for me. I su...

Maybe I'm not seeing the blasphemy here. My only real problem with thsi is the fee of $400. There's no way to survey this size parcel, or any parcel...

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here. You went to court, won, and the other surveyor's monument now represents the incorrect corner location, r...

You can never have too many laws Oh, yes, definitely Deserve's got nothing to do with it

If it was my own, certainly....Someone else's maybe, but usually not...... Then what do you do with an obviously bent/disturbed monument set by som...

I do it all the time. Especially when I'm a couple thousand feet in the woods, and I find a loose pipe or rod. I straighten it up, pound it in, and ...

@350rocketmike Unfortunately, mine was the exception, and threw a rod at 130k miles. Still liked it, for a while, ha

I remember going to North Carolina the first time and the first thought I had was, "I wouldn't want to survey out here, there's trees everywhere!" I m...

As usual, there're probably some missing details and some things lost in translation. Boundary lines don't move or change, other than water boundarie...

@tom-bushelman I use GPS as much as I can, but I can't even imagine working in an area where I'd be able to use it enough that I wouldn't be using t...

Eh, I've called something a plot plan, but it was the result of a boundary survey, and looked the part of a boundary survey, just wasn't going to be r...
