It dates the time the monument was located, the record from last fall doesn't. That's what the client needed since he was building a boundary fence an...

Monuments hold a special status. When in place as originally set they will almost (some exceptions) always overrule measurements. When it's set and th...
It's not an issue according to an old State Board president. He surveyed many of his own properties for development. Mostly I have been good with what...
