There are many rules about how to survey in the PLSS. However, those rules don't invalidate interior corners when those rules aren't precisely foll...

Map check can be different, I use the polyline that I put around the parcel. But I always round quite a bit, I will show .01 acres but never .01 sq fe...

The new NGS zones are trying to keep the scale under 75PPM for 95% of the population in my state. I chatted with DOT and they will still keep using Pr...

I went to a seminar/training about 1997 put on by a manufacture that taught us to calibrate after static control was adjusted. I balked at doing that ...

Hey, the DC does a calibration, so we have to do a calibration each time. "Standard of practice" when those three words are combined together; they ...

You've got your job cut out for you now. That's a pile of steaming mess.

Dude!! "I'm going to localize to control points I recently surveyed" WUT? I had a coal mine client. Their process was to calibrate each day, se...

This discussion makes be go back and think about problems with field personal. The last surveyor I had to let go was because he got a DUI and I got a ...

We do it similar, there are multiple layers in autocad for points. Final, calculated, topo, fence, control, plus others depending on the job. We've ke...

We don't use the same pt name so there aren't multiple points in the database with the same name. That can cause confusion. We will use the same pt na...

Scapegoats? What a strange place to work. Just so you know the party chiefs came up with that way to collect check shots. I went along with it ca...

I see, I mistook the 2023 for a new statute

@protracted I wonder if there was a movement to do some updates to fence laws in the western states, the Oregon statute was 2023, in Wyoming a 2024...

As I understand it there are variances for poles and rods. 16.5' per rod is a suggestion in some places. Makes life interesting.

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...

It's a problem, we are waiting for grading, road and utilities to be finished. Of course, buildings and landscaping take out about 50%

I have a client that builds fence on-line in one state, and shifts it into his property 8" more or less in a different state.
