You have a lot in a plan of lots. Why is the one survey not square? What effect does this have on the adjoining properties? I would have chucked th...
In 50 years, I will be near death. Who knows what new technology will exist. 50 years ago, there were no RTK or lasers to shoot distance. We read v...
Good one Charley. My secret weapon is not giving away my secret weapon: My knowledge and experience.
Try to match "Thence by Old Lady Swanson's ground a hunnert perch more or less" to anything exact. North really doesn't matter all that much to me. ...
Anyone who would do that doesn't understand the "art" of surveying.That is absolutely horrible. I would tell them to call all the other guys in there...
Is it either a stick or a rock?

Yea, but when it comes around to "a post in the road" you know it's just a previous standard for "to a point."
Those fellas were pretty waxy. Sometimes the vague nature of the wording etc is a way to keep anyone from pinning them down to anything. It's kind o...
Reminds me of the time we found a couple points. We asked the guy if they were any good. He says, "Hell. I know they're right. I set 'em.":-|
Looks like it wasn't meant to last long. Not every point a surveyor sets has to last a decade. I've used a scratch mark on the sidewalk as a tempora...
It could have been a chimney survey.
That's an overwhelming amount of information. That's not something you just look at and say, "There's my ground and those are my corners." You reall...
