@mark-o You have a monumented corner agreed to and acted on by the owners. The dimensions on the plat and deed need to yield. Taking the owners throug...

The monument, goat pen, chicken house, and statements of the owners are expressions of intent. There is NO FIGHT. Who exactly will be using the survey...

I haven't surveyed in GA since the early 80's, but this does not appear to be a problem. Just document the description of the acquiesced line prior to...

@rover83 I do it a lot when following legacy work. Be sure to go back in and look at tge scaling base point. It nearly always starts about 40 feet wro...

I'll try to help after I stop laughing at the thread title. Try hand entering a scale from 0,0 in local site settings. It hasn't worked reliably in t...

Item 7 of the Standard Detail Requirements prohibits additional certifications. If I need clarifying notes I'll add them. Being told they are required...

The humorous part to me is how much time surveyors spend pondering a location as compared to the time actually spent setting a monument. ?ÿ The dif...

@kevin-hines It was a quarter corner. There is nothing in the other cardinals to proportion to. The term 'modified single proportion' is generally us...

Occasionally I show a non-controlling line for context. I add a "Not Surveyed, shown for context only" linetype to the legend.

A well structured agreement isn't a huge time investment. The QCD may achieve some mechanical fix but does not lend any clarity to the situation. It's...

Even with a PHD, two years experience is not enough. The shortage is driven by customers trained to expect cheap service. Low prices plus low wages e...

I use that method in the field a lot. As you recover more intermediate monuments you just get out the 11c and scratch pad. When compared against table...

I rarely bother with closure limits or perfect procedure when evaluating an undisturbed monument from an approved GLO survey. Minor issues that make i...
