Post by: WAPITIHUNTER on November 04, 2009, 05:56:50 PM: Here are some pictures I took while on the job today.

It was a brushy crap hole. I was going to chop out up the creek and set the south property corner and as you can see...................I gave up when I hit the WALL!!!!

Post by: WAPITIHUNTER on November 10, 2009, 09:21:58 AM: That is the 1205 TCRP Robot. I love it. The 1203 newer one was better and faster tracked closer etc. until some *censored*es stole it. :bash: $42,000 just like that. :dunno:

I'm no artist. I'll be taking the FE exam this spring and then the FLS exam next fall. If I get lucky I'll pass the FE. I heard the FLS wasn't too bad. Maybe I'll see ya in the future!

Thanks for the compliment! That's the difference between just doing land surveying and BEING A LAND SURVEYOR. Who do you work for down yonder?

We recently did a lot survey in Raymond. I thought it interesting how nobody showed anything on their surveys down there. So when we did ours we showed everything we found in the entire plat. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
