We will use alpha as a check point number. For instance, working with a set of static control, we will check into them each day from the base sitti...

A disturbed monument is no longer marking the corner. It should be removed and replaced (if possible). One of the old timers would set aluminum caps a...

The new home owner will have pins, just don't remove them when the new owner builds. But you can't replace them each time a house goes up for a projec...

I recently had a client with similar (although not quite as messy, but close) title problems. She wanted to clean up the title for a sale and needed p...

Meth Labs in remote locations, twice.

Yes, but there will not be an independent resurvey. They have been dependently resurveying the south township since at least 2009, still no resolution...
