I suspect that at some point, probably very early in the genesis of the project, the scaling point was fixed at a coordinate that corresponded to a ce...

It is true the that the paper plans contain little stake-able information. The action is in the ".pdfs" and ".dwgs". I would not attempt to stake anyt...

If I was setting a bar amongst all those utilities I'd be as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. I'd stop pounding the inst...

I'll wager that rod was disturbed when those utilities were installed and stuck back in "the exact original location" by some laborer.

That's standard. Luckily it is 99% boilerplate so having once read it you need only skim through it on future projects with the same owner/engineer te...

I can't speak for Kansas but most of the creeks I saw in Oklahoma were shallow, slow moving slivers of salty water hat smelled like cow piss. I never ...

At the PLSO Conference in January a rumor circulated that there would be an NATRF Beta rollout in June of this year. It is now June......

I consider MAG nails in asphalt to have a "half-life" of about 1 winter. That is, about half of all such nails set that way will be gone in a year, an...

It's there. Modified, restated, expanded, and under different headings. I find that getting back to Curtis Brown's basics is a valuable palette clean...

I try really hard to avoid using the "Point of Commencement... True Point of Beginning" form of description. I might say "Beginning at a point which b...

I'll drill a series of holes before digging in with the chisel bit. That gives the dirt displaced by the chisel some place to go.

What other purpose would a question about junior/senior rights serve? How in the wide, wide world of sports would junior/senior rights affect title?

As I understand it the 3 parcels were created and subsequently acquired by the decedents sometime prior to their passing. The question at hand is abou...
