There is something messed up about google earth now, at least in this area. Previously I'd sometimes look as a rough gross check on things. Now it's w...
Thanks for the response, Dave. I think this is how the lots were originally laid out. Just sent you a PM.
What about a case where you have an entire city block created with metes and bounds descriptions going back to early 1900's but now all 50' x 100' lot...
Where do you find the Establishment Doctrines? Are they written in a particular book? Or are these just common principles from various cases??ÿ
Whatever the client wants, it's their decision. Be overly clear communicating with them. Call for the fence in the legal. If you're running a couple t...
How do you resolve boundaries while calling North something different than the original survey being retraced??ÿ
How are boundaries resolved when using State Plane or other Geodetic coordinates. Say you wanted to use a bearing-bearing intersection to create a thi...
99.5% on local coordinate system. 5000, 5000 Reviewing boundary surveys becomes so much more confused and tedious when a survey is not using bearings ...
I'll give that to you if top of bank equals edge of water / high water more or less but no one mentioned that. I don't know state laws and court cases...
I've studied a bit of Ca history and water has been a huge thing. LA shouldn't even be allowed to exist! They've constructed huge aqueducts to bring w...
I could be wrong but I think it's Ca. Dept. of Fish & Game that enforces this type of thing around here. I'll probably never do it but it's tempti...
Yea I wish that wasn't the case. My own property, I own to the center of a creek and would love to pull water out but I don't have water rights and I'...
Among the multitude of other variables, I am envisioning an area around here where you might have a major cutbank that could be 50' or more from the w...
If a friend asked what I did over the weekend and I told him that I had a wonderful picnic on the bank of the brook, then walked along the brook for a...
There is a clear call to the top of the bank. I don't see how that could be interpreted as to the centerline of brook. The intent couldn't be more spe...
I agree. That's what Title CO's are for. Stick with surveying, stay away from the risk and liability, let them take it on. That is their job.
I have no guilt in making profit, just the opposite. But like Peter said, big picture thinking is valuable too. Stubbornly insisting on making a few e...
Good point. If this request came from one of my sources of referrals that currently feed me work like architects, builders, realtors, attorneys in tow...
Here's another question to ponder... Could I just sell this map exactly as is, no changing dates, no changing ownership names and no field checking pr...
