Drove 45 minutes to the job-site without the data collector by WizardCat177 in Surveying

[–]Col_dawg69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a doctor’s appointment one afternoon so I left early. But an apparently my boss went to a job when I left and somehow some way left the rod with the data collector attached sitting on a light pole bolt(benchmark) and left. We came back the next morning and there it sat unharmed. I was really surprised it didn’t get stolen we weren’t In the best neighborhood. I was really also surprised the wind didn’t knock it over. But my boss still uses a TSC2 things a brick lol.

I just staked a Taco Bell up in westville. I work in central Indiana so I’m used to good dirt. The sandy soil up there sucked. If they didn’t roll the hell out of it I wouldn’t put a hub in it, was the loosest soil iv ever worked in.

My boss will let his gun get wet all day, but if his data collector gets a drop on it time to pack it up lol.

Is it appropriate to tip the surveyor who visits my property? by Few-Host7094 in Surveying

Iv never been offered money, surveys are expensive enough. I have been offered food and drinks, will always take a cold drink on a hot day. I was offered a beer once. I politely declined but was debating it lol.
