Blazed and painted trees directly marking the, "actual," boundary are superior to the invisible line defined by whatever hunk of metal someone threw a...

It depends on the individuals. My father spent most of his logging career working solo with his few injuries occurring while working with others. I ...

A graphic scale and text (e.g. 1 inch = 100 feet) are required in NC but I'd put them on regardless. It's cheap insurance and doesn't take up much re...

There's nothing preventing a survey of the exterior boundaries of a subdivision as long as you note that that is what you're surveying. Keep in mind t...

The vector and optical spreadsheets were exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

1. Determine the length of time the control will be used then multiply this number by 1.5 or 2. 2. Based on your answer to #1, determine the minimum ...

What is the new lot owner using the topo data for? How many parties will be basing their work off it? What value do you assign to the risk you assum...

For rural surveys, I want the 2 sigma positional accuracy to be about the diameter of a 5/8 in rebar for all monuments. Again for rural, not urban or...

NC has one and it is not limited to abutters. If you've reached a point where you're arguing trespass or right of entry law with a landowner, I'm no...

I use NC's free orthoimagery daily and the lidar derived surface as supplements and additional checks against blunders for aerial lidar missions. I t...

It's not easy to offer constructive criticism on a public forum. Maybe his reaction had more to do with the way you engaged him than hardheadedness. ...

Does the TDC600 work off the Android OS? A couple of weeks ago we got an automatic Android update that turned our TSC5s into fancy paperweights. Proba...

"So I’ll ask the already asked and discussed question about why don’t surveyors want their surveys recorded?" I’ll bite but I’ll not answer your quest...

I don’t see the lack of licensure being the key issue. Many Gen-X and younger surveyors have had to suffer the consequences of grandfathered PLSs who...

I think follow through is the more important issue. Easements are little troublemakers that deserve equal or perhaps more attention than parcel bound...

Great video. bc-surveyor just picked up at least one new subscriber. I particularly liked that you drew attention to, "savings", of purchasing a Chin...

I show the line surveyed just as I would on a full boundary, thick line weight with B&Ds, witnesses if present, and monuments described and labele...

It's next to impossible to accurately assess the quality of mentorship and this is a big reason for requiring formal education. I am only familiar wi...

It probably wouldn't work for that fella, but I'll joke about reducing my price if they sign a statement absolving me from all liabilities associated ...
