Congratulations on this HUGE milestone! Keep pressing forward and enjoy the ride...

I would say that's the point where systemic error obscures the random, but we are on the same page. At some point you aren't making things better, you...

Keep in mind this is NOT an absolute. In fact, it is the most abused formula in the surveying world. There is a point of diminishing returns where thi...

It really depends on where you were at in your career when you left and what you want to do now. I'd say print out the lawbooks and key recent cases...

I don't fiddle with lines to make them 'perfect'. I report what I measure node to node. If it's 0.004, or 0.04 different than the last PLS I'm calling...

Access and TBC both will shift your scale origin under certain circumstances. The numbers you're dealing with are negligible but I hate being 'technic...

@norman-oklahoma What if the second document reserves an easement to arise on the separation of title?

If you show the rest of the road, be careful how the document is structured. You may inadvertently create a cross access easement where the other part...

@field-dog It depends on where you set it. The surface temperature of concrete or asphalt will hit 175 degrees in direct sunlight. On hot sunny days...

The Department of Labor establishes PW rates for physicians and all manner of support personnel. We are simply too small in numbers and voice to make ...

In many jurisdictions that old fence has become 'right'. Here in Idaho a fence treated as a boundary through use can become the boundary after 20 year...

We just paid for a rebuild on an r10 for this very reason. Keep the r6 and 450 on different cables or solder a second fuse holder after the 'Y'. Runni...

A lot will depend on what type of surveying you want to relay and the capacity of the recruits. My Mom and I worked through the 73 manual when she wen...

So, life took over for a few months and I haven't been back to check this thread. Thank you all for the replies. I have a decent collection of the W...

@norman-oklahoma Bingo. Shoot faces relectorless, compute the corners. I go old school if thats not an option. Set a rough 5x5 or other offset from ...

I just quoted him today. He touched a LOT of careers..

I've been monitoring dams and hydro facilities for a long time. I have three rules. First, keep it simple. Second, screw it up exactly the same way ev...
