Some rate schedules are a result of negotiations with a major client. I've got over a half dozen rate schedules, at this point I only use three; it de...

I don't look at the obituaries, too many are younger than I am. 🙁

I've got one of those. As far as I can figure out no monuments were ever set by the original surveyor. I was dumb enough about 25 years ago to go out ...

More like $2k for the property covering back taxes and get $2.2k back in a few months.

An illustration: For the local HARN point: Ellipsoid heights from the DS: 1994=1173.304m, 2001=1173.260m, 2007=1173.219, 2011=1173.185 NAVD88 ORTHO He...
